nope, not softer, just seems more appropriate i guess

no vibration issues at all.. perfect balance, tracks straight.. amazingly painless.

Ooooohhhhh Prrrreeeetttttttyyyyyy!

Looks much meaner than before, I like it . Sure don't look like no curb-parkin' city-crawler now. Although those running boards have got to go... Can't wait to see that bad boy in person, lee.

the difference is pretty big yea, but thats as a result of the shocks too. its very smooth and im now totally used to it, so i love it. at first it felt like i was so insanely high and out of control , but i got over that quick.

I didnt measure beforehand, so im not sure on total lift, but id estimate its about 2".

Don't mean to hijack but because of this thread, I bought a set and had them installed yesterday at a local shop. I have you to thank for Lee.

I was driving in NYC yesterday afterward, looking for potholes to run over. It was saweeet!!! No more bouncing and rear end swaying. As some have put it, night and day.

Jetsi, I purchased my set at Autozone. Part #BE5-2450 for front and #BE5-2451 for the rear.

I want to lift my 86' Runner rear end, it's sagging. Typically I drive on the hard roads 95% of the time, but would like the lift. What about springs 2" lift from Downey and extended Bilsteins?

Lee - I know that you've done more mods since these pics were taken. This is how I want my 4runner to look. I just installed the 99 springs which are almost as tall as the PP springs. My next step is the goodyear mt/r tires. I may even choose the white letters out!
