has anyone done the 80 series land ruiser coils, for the three inches in the rear? what else is involved? parts? shocks?


93 4runner ifs

 

Search, im sure someone has done it.

 

search. There's a tread about 5 threads down from yours AND another pinned near the top of the page.

 

I did the LC coils in the rear. Gave me 3.5-4" lift.

You will need to buy a panhard bar drop bracket, longer shocks and possilby a longer rear brake line. Don't forget to extend your LSVP bracket as well.

 

904 Runner hit the nail on the head. They ride real nice BTW

 

They do ride smooth, the only thing i don't like about them is they are too soft for what i like.

Good thing im planning on going to leafs soon eh?

(if and when i do they will be up for sale)

 

They flex like crazy with the longer shocks and disconnected sway bar. I never tried them with the sway bar on but I bet it would help some of the lean if people don't like that.

 

I kept mine on and it still rolls a lot. I took my rear sway bar off just to see and it was to the point where it was SCARY.

When i sas'd my truck it helped a LOT with the body roll though. im hopeing with the rear leafs most of the body roll will be gone.

 

Shocks and control arm angles have much more to do with the perceived softness or harshness of the ride than the spring rate does.

Too soft for you, simple increase the valving on the shocks.

Rancho 9000's baby. turn the knob

Except i broke one.

 

Then the springs aren't too soft, only your shocks.
You can buy replacement knobs for 'em.
How the heck did you break one ?
I ran them for a few years and never broke any of the knobs.

I am going to ignore the fact that this question was even asked.

 

In the back of the 4runner the knobs are on the bottom of the vehicle and i smashed one when i slid off a rock.

 

I don't run a sway bar and I have a locker in the back. Takes a little time to get used to but I would never go stock again. Now if I could just double the transfer case cheaply then I could climb just about anything. I can climb steep hills but I lose my momentum and the 3.0 can't keep up with the weight and gravity.

 

Flip 'em around such that the knob's at the top.




Fred

 

I can't on the 4runners, well at least my 4runner.

It has studs on the top and eyes on the bottom.

 

Nothing that a little bit of fab'n can't fix
