Springs look great!!!hope u have a good time try in them out,by the way you have your lpsv bypassed as well right??

liveoffroad

not yet, i'm nervous to do it without a proportioning valve so i still have the lpsv right now. i bought a valve but haven't installed it yet

Bypass and don't look back. Lpsv Probly dosent even work properly. They were junk 30 years ago. With larger than 33s and drums still in the rear there's really no need for any valve back there. I've deleted many systems , never had a problem with rears under or over powered without aftermarket valve either. I show a very simple way in my build to bypass.
Btw your runner is awesome.

I will have to check that out. I also feel that there is no way they can be properly working after all this time.

Adding a lift kit would require rod adjustment which nobody does , most techs didn't know how to properly adjust or bleed them when doing brake service work . Most are blown out & out of adjustment or leaking which cause spongy pedal & not enough pressure to rear brakes. Most people who delete it get better feeling pedal & better braking performance without any aftermarket adjustable valve. Been deleting them for years with no issues in performance .

thanks man, yea i'll probably bypass it first and see how it behaves before i install the proportioning valve. the design behind the Lpsv is actually pretty sound but when they get old they quit working right and i think you're better off with a simpler solution. mine is definitely weak on the rear brakes and i have my rod zip-tied up so it should be at full pressure

^ I ran that setup for a few years on my 87. Only time I ever noticed the back end locking up way to easily was going down hill in the snow. So I just used a longer zip tie in the winter.....

Went wheelin over the weekend with my bro, had a blast and the fall colors were awesome! The new springs are a lot stiffer than my old ones...which is nice for a change but i think i may pull a leaf out. other than that, truck did great

thanks guys, it was a good trip to wrap up the summer... my wife and i are most likely done camping for the season, the last night was a little cold.

thanks for the lead on that maplight cory, i called the local toyota yard and they have them in stock for 20$ so that'l save me the cost of shipping, i might have to go grab one

HAH! This just took a turn towards intriguing. How would you make that work?

liveoffroad

so I was hoping to get some pics posted, but the truck isn't at my house so i haven't been able to get any. I did indeed buy a turbo 4runner. its in pretty good shape but needs a few odds and ends. Not completely sure what my plan for it is just yet...more to come later
