Hey there I wanted to know if the rear coils form a 1999 landcruiser will fit my 91 4runner. I can get a pair from a rolled lc for $50.

how much lift will these give me and will 1.5 bj spacers level it out or am i gona have to crank the torsion bars too.

Thx

 

Any one?

 

Any fj80 coils will work.
and as far as i know they will be pretty damn close to the bj spacers with the torsion bars cranked.
I have done tons of research on the same subject, but its pretty hard to find what you need.
I ended up with 1.5 bjs and 2 inch coil spacers.

 

actually LC coils give around 3"-4" of lift..but it makes everything "look" level because of the way the fender well's are designed (bigger in the front...)

you will actually be about 1"-2" higher in the rear (by the frame) but the body will level...SO DO IT ALREADY!! LMAO

 

ok thanks camo.
and yeah arnt the front fenders like an inch and a half taller than the rear?
its something like that i think.

 

sweet thank thank you i will give this guy tomorrow a call and see if maybe i can talk him down even cheaper. Who knows?

 

Just be sure to say "i have $40 cash in hand"
That for some reason always get em.

 

i was gona offer him 40 he pulls them 30 ill pull them

Would i be ok just cranking the t-bars up for now, and not deal with a Panhard Rod Drop Bracket
will that effect anything

 

Generally, you can expect to break the bolt/adjuster when cranking the tbars - be sure to have extras. You need to have an alignment to correct the camber whenever adjusting the front height, so I would only do it when you have everything how you want it to be in the end.

Without the panhard drop bracket, the axle will be shifted to the side. With the steeper angle, you may see the truck shift sideways under gas/braking when the weight distribution changes.

 

4crawler is the only place I have seen the panhard drop brackets. Is that the only place to get them or are there any other places, And how long will my break lines gona have to be

 

Ya i know about the shocks i forget where i read it, but u can use the fronts from a 2wd f-250, and the rears from a LC.

 

I got the procomp panhard (track bar) bracket from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EXP-91-1268/

I have plenty of grade 8 and grade 10.5 hardware so the extra 2 bolts 4crawler gives you just wasn't worth the extra 25 bucks to me.

You can readjust the bracket on the axle for the brakelines and using a small piece of L channel point the brake lines up instead of towards the front of the veh. This gives you a ton of extra brake line, I didn't have to extend mine at all, and even at full flex they don't have tension on them.

It will look goofy as hell if you don't do something with the front along with the LC coils. The 4crawler BJ spacers do work very well with the lc coils. You can tell it's still raked, but much less noticeable than without the spacers.

I got juuuuuust under 5" of lift when I put the lc coils on. My rear springs were pretty saggy, but with my 33's I could barely squeeze my hand between the tire and the wheel well. Now I can stick my whole head in there

 

pb4ugotobed Do u have any picture of how you did the break lines.
I got my front ball joint spacers from 4crawler, and I bought the drop bracket from summit when I called them to ask about how much lift it was for (cause it says it absolutly no where) they said it was for anywhere from 2-4 inches. As far as shocks go in the front im using shocks from a 1999 ford F-250 2wd superduty, and the rear from a 1999 Land cruiser. Should have everything installed monday.

O and i am going to be running BFG 33xx10.5

 

I don't have any pictures of it, but if time permits I could probably take a couple for ya. For shocks, I went with a set of the procomp ES3000 shocks. Rides a little rough,but honestly that doesn't bother me. If I wanted it to ride like a cadillac I would have bought a cadillac. Compared to how it rode with the completely blown out rear shocks that WERE in it, in combination with the weak front shocks and the weak saggy rear springs, it rides like a million bucks. And those LC coils flex like holy hell BTW

I run a set of procomp mud terrain's 33x12.50 with no rubbing whatsoever. My wheels have a backspacing of about 3.5" to 3.75" (never measured exactly).

With the trackbar bracket, you gotta remember. It was actually built to be part of procomp's lift kit... which is a 4" lift kit.

And have fun putting those coils on. I had to disconnect the sway bar, use a screw jack and remove both of the top links and drop the rear end basically off the truck to squeeze 'em in. they're a LOT bigger than the stock coils. The BJ spacers are super easy. I had to put it on the alignment rack twice to get the caster and camber set right, but once I got it dialed in it drove great! (I don't think my truck's ever had an alignment done to it as far as I can tell... That and it was NECESSARY to use an impact to loosen the eccentric nuts to adjust it).

And one last thing, if you need to replace either of your front axles (if the boots are torn or anything) do it BEFORE adding the bj spacers. Believe it or not, that 1.5" makes a HUGE difference getting that bitch outta there. And for the most part OEM axles won't bind at full extension after the BJ spacers, but I've found that most aftermarket axles will. If you replace with aftermarket, make sure you get the ones with lifetime warrantee

 

Thanks that info will help a lot. When i got the cruiser coils today I was holy hell those are huge. Im so excited. unfortunately I wont be able to install till my rer shocks come in they were on back order, and even though the stock ones are garbage I think they will just be to small, but Idk wut im gona do I dont wana wait till the end of jan to install it. Maybe ill just install it anyways.

 

Wait until you got all your ducks in a row. The procomp shocks are cheap and work well, which is why I went with them. The stock shocks will be way too short for the lc coils. I had my lc coils for almost 2 months before I acquired all the stuff to put 'em on... my shocks were on backorder for like a month and 4crawler was out of town. But once I had the bj spacers, shocks, panhard bracket, springs, and everything I just spent a day and did all that stuff, plus replacing a bad cv axle, as well as putting on a set of manual hubs and repacking the wheel bearings all at once. After all was said and done, I spent a little time on the alignment rack and all was well

 

Hopefully shocks come in by friday so i can install on saturday.

pb4ugotobed Had any time to take pictures yet i'm still contemplating what to do with the break line
