3RD GEN "1997"


I NEED A LITTLE MORE LIFT AND A FRIEND IS WILLING TO GIVE ME HIS 2009 TACOMA FRONT SPRINGS, WILL THIS WORK AND GIVE LIFT?


THIS MAY BE A DUMB QUESTION HOWEVER I FIGURED IT MIGHT FIT SINCE TOYTECS PAGE SAYS
Eibach front coil spring kit (set of 2) for:
95-04 Tacoma = 3" lift
96-02 4Runner 3" lift
05-10 Tacoma 03-10 4Runner and FJ 1.6" lift

Cut and dry version, not really. It would take some serious modification to make it work. The second gen uses torsion bars whereas the 3rd gens(runners/tacos) use a rack pinion steering set-up. Now a puck lift may fit the coils in the back of a 2nd gen runner from a taco, trying that set up with a 4'' lift right now. Not sure about the coil buckets being the same dimensions though

drkblu4runner

you are correct

yes, it will fit. someone has used a 4th gen 4Runner front coils in a 3rd gen 4Runner front. it's bit stiffer compared to the coils fro the 3rd gen 4Runner because the 4th gen is a bit heavier than the 3rd gen

ok thankks ill give it a try. any idea of how much lift (i have the 3rz)

Were they stock 4th gen front coils?

drkblu4runner

they were stock TRD. however i think one side might be higher then the other by half inch or less..... i remember reading that some coils have a left and right.. doesnt bother me as long as it alignment isn't effected much
