A while back I bought the 3" Toytec lift for my 96 4runner.
The kit replaced the rear springs and came with spacers for
the front-1 coil spacer and 1 top out spacer. However, my
front is getting lower and lower (since the stock springs
were already starting to sag before i put the lift on). And i
believe the spacers make them sag faster. I want new
springs and am going to try and get rid of the spacers in the
front. or maybe just keep the top out spacer if i have to.

So I am looking for opinions and suggestions for front lift
setups. I would very much appreciate any reply's. Also if
you could list where I can purchase the parts you suggest
that would be awesome.

 

coilovers are probably the best way to go for the front.. Donahoe's are supposedly the best.

 

www.sonoransteel.com

 

Ditto. I am saving for the lift now. I've done a bunch of searching and Sonorans set-up seems about the best.

 

I am also saving up for steve's setup. Looks good and the on and off road handeling is supposed to be superb.

 

His setup does seem pretty nice but I already have my setup in the back that I am happy with. Does anyone know where you can purchase parts of his front setup separately?

 

Any Toyota dealership...

 

Well i guess that was obvious. Any specific TRD Tundra year?

 

sorry i guess i thought the part numbers were still on his site.

Tundra TRD Front Coil: 48131-AF090 - Blue + Yellow (passenger side)
Tundra TRD Front Coil: 48131-AF100 - Yellow + Yellow (driver side)
TRD Tacoma DC front shocks: 48510-A9160 - Tokico TRD Blue (x2)

 

Thanks

 

with the top out spacer and extended studs.

 

You saying I need those with the tundra coils? I should already have those from the spacer lift. I could be wrong....

 

How about some OME springs and shocks? I believe your toytec rear has OME springs. If this interests you, try Strap22 as he gets really good prices for these.

 

OME front springs and struts would be nice however i'm trying to find alternatives to maybe keep down on the price. I'm going to look into the TRD tundra coils some more. My other dilemma is the shocks. I have rancho RS5000 now but with the spacers, the shocks are fully extended. For shocks i want to find extended ones that aren't as expensive as the OME's

 

I bought my TRDs from http://www.trdparts4u.com/ . Great price.

 

Some of these part number are no longer what we are using. FYI, this data is no longer correct.

 

oh okay. sorry for the misinformation.

 

Yeah, I think the whole assembled coil-over thing is kinda crap. Why would someone want to spend $1000 + on a pair of coil-overs when you get the same travel from an OME coilover or OEM coilover. And half the price.

 

It's not about the travel. It's about the valving that allows you to go faster offroad and the adjustability of your ride height.
