what do you think about my rear [suspension]



i recently acquired an 89 1st gen 4runner which came with a bracket lift up front. the rear however is on blocks, the spring packs are flat, and the shocks are obviously shot. so 3 strikes and its out. what do you guys think I should stick on there to get it back up again (without blocks)?

there's a stipulation though I use a motorcycle carrier in the 2" receiver to haul my dirtbike around (about 235lbs out a couple feet from the bumper). the ride right now is terrible. what are my options within a reasonable price range? HD springs? air shocks? air bags?

I would put new springs in the back and get a trailer.

one option would be to search 'Zuk Mod'

Go to my website and in the lower left corner of the page is good info on the coils....
You can ditch the blocks and use 14" x 125 lb/in rated coils

The ride quality should be so much better. Of course, if you do this you'll have to supply us with pics...before and after. A shot of the underside showing the existing blocks would be interesting...
