Sorry for bothering you guys by asking a stupid question, but I tried serching and didn't find enough info. Anyways, I was thinking about adding rubber coil spacers that go in BETWEEN the coils of my 3rd gen. Its some cheap stuff I saw at the automotive shop that claims to add 1'' of lift when placed in between the coils. I want to put them in the front coils because of the sagging front end, and the 265/75's filling up the wheel wells.

If this is a bad idea, or it will destroy my coils, feel free to stop me. I just want a cheaper way of lifting my 3rd gen, without having to shell out $300 for "Real" coil spacers.

Thanks

 

They will pop out of the coils if you flex your front end at all.

Why not OME?

I think I know what you're talking about... They are two piece spring spacers...

I wouldnt do it.. Id just buy the "real" spacers. Get them from www.wheelersoffroad.com .. The Daystar ones aren't all that much.

 

Straight off the website:

"96-Current 4Runner 1.25" Lift Front Coil Spacer Kit: $59.95"

 

Those will DESTROY your ride quality in the front! You are now riding on a solid block of rubber, not a "squishy" spring. My understanding is they do more for load support than "unloaded" lift - they keep the spring from compressing so much when loaded. I would go with balljoint spacers or the spring spacer cups mentioned above. Or Cornfed spacer blocks. Or a body lift. None are really all that expensive...

 

I do street driving, I go off-roading at least once a year.

 

Cheap lift idea = not good idea, just get some daystar spacers for like 60 bucks. I've been riding on daystars for 2 years with no complaints.

 

Okay, Daystar it is.
