So 3 weeks ago my '94 Runner(see below) got totaled by a corolla (87 yr old lady turned left in front of me) and truck just could stop those 33's in time. Anyway I bought another Runner (of course!) its a '96 limited, really a nice rig. So I came home and ordered up a set of sway-a-way coils and uni-ball UCA. Now its time for the rear. Sonora Steel rear kit (3.5") looks very legit. Whats the the difference between just buyin a set of coils and a good set of shocks and doing their kit for $700? Thanks everybody

 

Their rear kit isn't just coils and shocks. It includes all this:

Toyota FZJ-80 Land Cruiser Coils (TWO)
Bilstein 5125 Series Nickel Plated Shocks (TWO)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Custom Polyurethane Shock Bushings (TWO)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Adjustable Trac/PanHard Bar (ONE)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Extended bump stop Adapters with Daystar Competition Style bump stops (TWO)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Rear sway bar adjustment brackets (TWO)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Braided Stainless Steel extended brake line or lines (1996-2000 one line, 2001-2002 two lines)
Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. Parking/Emergency Brake bracket (1996-2000 Only)


The adjustable panhard bar is the big one. It allows your axle to be adjusted back over to where it belongs, instead of moved over to the right.

 

If that totaled your runner, I'd hate to see the shape of that corolla, or that old lady!

 

So you think go with the kit?
and yeah, it was bad, she turned left in front of me at an intersection, heard/saw me coming, got scared and just stopped. Well that was bad. haha her car was in bad shape, and she was hurt pretty bad.
