I bought my 4runner not to long ago and I'm wanting to do something about the horribly rough ride and the back is sagging.
What did you guys replace your shocks and leaf's with? I don't want to spent to much either.

thanks!

umm??? you have coil's and you can either put daystar coil spacers or just pick up some new coils themselfs like old man emu, or what have you...

4runner_keith

He's got a 1st gen...

You can do the zuk mod which is popular or just get new springs...

I have no idea where to start. its a 87 22RE 5speed

Lumpy

That my friend is a good start!!!

jdjesse

what do you guys think of this

http://gearinstalls.com/coilphilbert.htm

scroll down to DJ99's T100, I think thats something I could do. What are your opinions?

sebastianholmes

im not seeing any sag? the rear fenders are cut like 2 inches lower than the front so that might be what you see, mine sagged and i put an add a leaf in and new shocks and it rides and flexes pretty good

Lumpy

That's the same writeup I posted above...

The install pic's and instructions came from Philbert a member on here. Check his thread in my earlier post and do a search for zuk mod.

Buy yes, that's my suggestion.

jdjesse

I don't have any pictures as I don't have my 4runner with me but the back is bricked like 3-4 inches

jdjesse

Yeah I looked at it, I don't have the resources to cut anything and the T100's mod looks pretty straight forward. i guess ill come back on here once i get my truck back and post some better pictures of it.

Lumpy

I know some folks also use Chevy 63's on the pickups, they give a better ride, still carry the load, and give a bit of lift as well. I don't see why this can't be done on a Runner either. You will need to relocate the hangers and should use longer shackles as well.

small angle grinder $20.00??? Just sayin.

jdjesse

Yeah I guess I could do it, But I'll have to come back cause that guys truck is lifted so I wouldn't know what size spring to get and what about the front of the truck? Should I just replace the coils infront?

Lumpy

There are no springs in the front...Well shouldn't be there should be torsion bars.

All depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to keep is stock then leave the front alone. Just fix the sag. If you want to lift there are may options.

My 92 pickup I'll be doing the Chevy 63 swap and a 1.5" BJ spacer. On my 95 4Runner I installed LC Coils and will be installing BJ spacers as well.

Here is a link for some good reading.

Yeah the ride height I currently have it fine for me, i just want a smoother ride and lift wouldn't hurt

jdjesse

anyone have any information on what to replace on the front of the truck to get a smoother ride?

Xeo

shocks

c0ugar69

front and rear shocks, and do a zuk mod. very easy to do and rides great. just crank the front torsions to mach the back.

c0ugar69

go with the 12" 100lb springs
