I have a 94 runner I have 3" ball joint spacer and need to know if I get 2" coil spacers if that will level it out

 

I have 3" ball joint spacers for the front and wanted to know if 2.5 coil spacer for the back will level it out

 

3" ball joint spacers? sketchy... you sure they're 3"?

 

Yes they are 3 inch

 

they should only be 1.5" at the most. but its up to you.

 

Do you have a link to these 3" spacers?

 

BMcEL if you go on Craigslist Eugene and go to auto part and put in Toyota lift you will find them a guy makes them

 

Still need to know if 2.5 coil spacers will level it out after the 3" ball joint spacer

 

Those are cut from .5" steel and they expect you to stack up to three of them for a total of 1.5". The 2.5-3" total lift they are talking about comes from cranking the torsion bars after installing the spacers.

I would avoid cranking the torsion bars if you install BJ spacers;

Sure. You can always turn down the front a bit to match. Im sure your CVS will like that.

They are not 3" spacers, they just provide 3" worth of lift.

I dont like the fact that they are 3 - 1/2 pieces bolted together. Thats putting too much stress on the bolts holding the spacers on. Should really get one solid chunk or at least weld the pieces together.

 

If you're dead set on BJ spacers, I have a set of solid aluminum 1.5" spacers laying around that I'll sell ya for $50. I would personally avoid them altogether but it's up to you.

 

Dont make multiple thread for the same easy question. Plus, this ones in the wrong section. This Gen all has leaf springs in the back.

 

So what I'm herring is get a str8 axle stop messing with ifs

 

Not necessarily. Check out the link I posted above. The idea is to keep your tie rods relatively level to the relay rod to avoid bending/breaking the idler arm and accelerated wear on the rest of the steering components. If you install BJ spacers and/or crank the torsion bars too much, you'll have nothing but problems with the steering components and possibly the CV axles.

I found a used bracket lift on Craigslist a few years ago for $200 so I went that route but I also don't do any hardcore rock crawling or need insane amounts of flex. The main reasons I haven't gone SAS are because I like the IFS ride and don't want to cut up my truck.

 

2" will most likely not level it enough as the older 4Runners typically suffer from butt-sag. I would replace the coils with at least new factory height/length, if not a little taller. Also, make sure you get a panhard bar drop bracket and a brake lspv bracket

 

Stacking those spacers 3 high looks really unsafe. " YOU CAN STACK THEM UP TO THREE HIGH BETWEEN YOUR UPPER A-ARM AND UPPER BALL JOINT TO GET 2.5-3" OF LIFT ". This guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

First, stacking them instead of having just one solid piece puts too much stress on the bolts, as rattlewagon said.

Second, he says "1 SPACER = ABOUT 1" OF LIFT". I thought they were made out of 1/2" thick steel? Idiot. He doesn't say anything about torsion adjustment. Also, he says he offers diff drops, but doesn't say anything about needing a diff drop. You think he would say "you'll need a diff drop for X amount of lift" or something like that.

Third, I wouldn't buy anything from someone who types in all caps like that.
