Click here Thought someone might be interested in these to get out of the saggy club!

 

I have definitely heard (and seen) a lot of older 4Runners with the saggy rear ends (just like grandma). Can anybody say if the problem has been corrected with the newer models? What generally causes the rear end to sag? Is it time? Frequent towing?

I have a 2002 and want to know if this is something that I may have to worry about in the future. I guess if I end up getting a small lift in the future that this won't be a problem anyway. My plan is to wait until my factory tires need to be replaced and then throw a 2 or so inch lift on there with some bigger tires.

I have read MANY posts on here about what most people use to get their 4Runners lifted, and know that there are many different products that can be used. Just to get a quick idea, how much (ballpark) would it cost to get my 2002 runner lifted 2 or so inches (including everything that I would need).

Thanks guys!

 

Hi Cyber.
I hear the hot setup to lift a 3rd gen is with the Downey coils (for a 3rd gen) and run Bilstein shocks back there.

In front you can run the stock coils and add "Cornbred" spacers to them.
For the ultimate ride and adjustability though, the SAW Racerunner coil overs is better.
They will set you back between $600 & $700.
It's a complete set.

You get the shock and the coil, and you can adjust it from 0 to 3" of lift.

Check out Steve's page for his recommendations.

Mike (Xtreme Off-Road on the board here) can get you the Racerunners.

 

What kind of ride am I going to get with the coil overs? I am assuming that the ride will become stiffer, am I correct? In my opinion, the stock ride is already kind of rough, is there a way to get the lift and soften up the ride any?
