I found some rear springs on ebay. They say they are 3.5 inch lifting springs that replace the stock springs. Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...Q5fAccessories

I am not sure if I will need to mess with the control arms in the back. Anyone have any advice on doing just a spring replacement on the rear to get rid of the characteristic rear sag. This will be on a 1994 stock 4runner. I have also looked at old man emu website and found some springs but i believe you buy these in conjunction with spacers so the cost ends up being more.

The "ruk" springs on ebay seem exactly what I am looking for, i just don't know if i need to mess with the control arms in the back, maybe just replace the bushings since i will be in there anyway......

 

I've been thinking about fixing the sag for awhile...from what I've read you could need a relocation bracket, longer brake lines, and of course, longer shocks. Never heard of that brand...the consensus seems to be Land Cruiser springs from the same year range.

I am continually confused with a spring company's claims of how much lift - 3.5 inches from where? From the sag point or from stock height? So if you're sagging 1.5 inches you get 5 inches of lift ???

 

Definitely need the relocation bracket, i assume that is and extended version of the stock stabalizer arms. The shocks and brake lines seem like they would be a cinch, autozone here i come....I am changing rear differential fluid which is what got me looking at the springs, i got some Amsoil 75/90 for front, rear, . Two monster energy drinks and a pot of coffee makes for an eager mechanic.

 

Blue or Green Monster????

 

Screw the monster.. Gimme some of that green leaf that emoticon is cheechin.. Bakd mechanic never let me down

 

BLUE. Thats my brand. less calories so you don't think twice about slammin two or three.

 

The "relocation bracket" is for the panhard rod. If you don't get the rod lowered on the frame end, your driveline will probably rub on the gas tank when the axle droops with that much lift. Plus you'd want to move the brake proportion bracket up so you'd actually get some braking power in the rear.

As for the brand, sorry, never heard of 'em. I went with the OME 900's, and they lifted the rear a pretty good lil bit. Go into my profile, I have pics of before and after the install in my photo album. They have not settled any since the install, either.
