99 rear coils on 98???
i have a 98 4runner 2wd-the rear coils are way to weak and i am gonna replace them,i have read that 99 4wd rear coils are a little taller and should ride/tow better is this true?not going for lift just to get it from hitting the bumpstops all the time ecspecially when i tow,thanks in advance
|
That would do the job, they will be about an inch higher than stock.
|
you want 99 4x4 16'rim coils
|
thanks for the replies,how much do ya think they'll run a piece?i know a few guys who work at toyota dealers,is that the only place to find these?
|
another question,if i replace the front springs with 99 4wd 16"rim,will that even the stance out?thanks

Yeah. '99 coils are taller than 3rd gen '96-'98 and '01-'02. I measured mine at 35.25" rear from ground to fender. Stock suspension. I'm running 30" tires.

You'll love 99' coils. I've towed some decent weight with mine and never felt it bottom out. Consider buying the "SYSTEM 3.0" kit... http://www.sonoransteel.com/store_co..._liftkits.html

Not all '99 coils are the taller variety so you have to be sure what you get. My Highlander sits 2" taller than my mom's '99 Limited;1" is attributed to my tires.
Steve Schaefer also states that not all '99s have the "magic" coils. All '99 Highlanders and most of the '00s Highlanders had them but the other models are hit and miss. |

I have the 99' 4x416" rim part number at home and can post i a day or so. The new springs were $75 from my Toyota dealer and the lifted my 00' 4x4 16"rims 2" in the rear. |

If your '00 was lifted 2" then you probably got one of the first 4Runners with the a set of the '01 short coils which did show up on the later '00 models. What is your measurement from the middle of the rim to the fenderlip which is a better measurement then the ground to fenderlip since it doesn't have to account for a tire that could be underinflated or overinflated? |
center of hub 22" in the rear.

My mom's '99 is a 4wd w/16" rims and has the the 1" shorter coils so it's still not consistent way to determine which coils a Runner has. I'll do some measurements on her's next time I see her truck.

I installed new OEM coils/shocks about 20k miles ago and my measurements are just over 22" in the rear and just under 22" up front. Mine has settled about a 1/4" since the setup was installed.

I am installing new rear shock this weekend that might help a little bit.

I would welcome that part number
