what leafs am i looking for???
i have a coil spring lift in the back of my 4runner right now and the ride is kinda stiff... i put bj spacers in front and took some tension off the t bars to smooth out the ride in front. but the back is now bothering me, its about 3 inches above stock. anyone have any ideas about leaf springs out of other vehicals that would get me about 3 inches lift over stock ride hight.
ive heard some chevy ones would work but i have no idea which ones. im not to picky on the vehical they come out of chevy dodge god forbid jeep or ford but anything that gets the job done. or if anyone had some really cheap lift shackles or anybody have some better ideas that wouldnt cost me more than about 50 bucks???
and to make stuff worse i have no way to get a welder to use around here so the most i can do is cutting or grinding for now... or strait bolt on would be nice also
any and all help would be appritated!!!

You can buy new lift springs from marlin crawler or trail gear, just decide how much lift you want and order the springs. Or you can get some 63'' chevy springs and put those on , but the 63'' chevy springs requires welding on new spring mounts, were the other springs are bolt on.
Nice to see someone else here from Idaho.

Your looking for 2wd drive chevy springs from the 80s to current, not too sure on the years. Springs can be picked up at junk yards or on CL, dont pay over 100 for a set. As far as mounting them, you can either get a kit or make your own brackets.
These guys make a good kit.

But do search, there are alot of kits and threads on this swap around here.
