Got the BJ spacers and LC coils installed. My Runner overlooking the Indian Wells Valley in the Mojave desert.

 

that looks really good. sounds like we have the same set up, i plan on doing a 2" BL when its time for new tires and i get 33s.

 

dude did you steal my 4Runner????? thats not cool man!!! similar set up here as well. i just ordered a 1" rg bl and diff drop, but its currently lost in the mailing system or something

out of curiosity how much do you have your tbars cranked?

 

I bought my runner from the original owner and am pretty sure they were never messed with and I never touched the T-bars so as far as I know they are stock. After I installed the BJ spacers and new shocks I know I got more than 1.5" of lift though. I have before and after measurements at all four corners at home, I'll post them after lunch.

 

sweet thanks. its starting to seem like everybody got less lift out of their fj coils, either that or they're riding around with a lot of rake compaired to me.

 

I heard that the FZJ80 coils were a little more heavy duty. I'm waiting on the long sides right now... I'll let you guys know when I get everything on.

 

mine are nice and soft. when i sit my fat a$$ on my tail gate, it goes down like an inch

 

I never made it home for lunch so I got home and remeasured. It seems to have settled since I completed the install. Here are my measurements before BJ spacers and coils and after. I measured from the same location before and after, from the top of the lip of the rim to the bottom of the lip of the fender well. Keep in mind I have a 2" body lift. My mods were BJ Spacers and LC Coils. I also put in a ProComp panhard bracket and new shocks. I did not adjust the Torsion Bars and as far as I know they have never been moved from stock.


Before / After
LF 16 1/4" / 18"

Before / After
RF 15 3/4" / 18"

Before / After
LR 13 3/4" / 17 1/4"

Before / After
RR 13 1/2" / 17 1/2"

 

15" wheels? off the top of my head im pretty sure both of my fronts are right around 16" with 15" wheels and no body lift. interesting...

 

Yeah, 15" wheels.

 

Man, thats a great setup for a 2nd gen. Its the route I'm going to take I think. Do you have any more photo's of your rig?

 

I can practically see where i grew up in the background! Awesome pic man! You officially have the baddest 4Runner in R/C.

You should seriously hook up with these guys and show 'em a few spots https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f15/mine-hunting-mojave-desert-ca-65679/

 

Thanks,

Not many. If your looking for something specific let me know and I will take them.

 

how is the ride compared to stock? I have the cruiser coils waiting @ home

 

Looks nice! I like it

 

Thanks for the comments. The ride is pretty good. I bought some Warn Black Diamond shocks off E-Bay. Not my first choice but they were a discontinued item and for $15 each brand new I can't complain a whole lot although they are a little soft for my liking but not to bad.
