I just got my 97 landcruiser springs from shoxg711 (thanks dude!!) and put them in today. Here is a before and after. It's pretty raked. Up front I have the revtek 3" kit and the landcruiser shocks and springs in the rear. I would say its a good 1.5"-2" over the front. Is there any cheap way to bring the front up a bit more? I do want the rear slightly over the front so maybe 1/2 to inch max more in the front. Sorry about photo quality. (cellphone) I had to put the springs in at lunch. Oh by the way if anyone is interested, i'm selling the rear 3" revtek spacers. Any ideas on what to do here??

Before




After

 

Looks awesome!!!

 

Thats got some rake for sure. I would wait a few weeks to see if/how they settle before you adjust the front.

 

You don't/can't lift the front any more. The rear will settle over time. I think it looks fine, dont worry about it.

 

Different application as I have a 2nd gen, but my LC coils settled over an inch in the first 2 weeks. I had worse rake than you at first, just let it be and I bet you'll be happy with it.

 

I hope so. I feel like i'm driving a stinkbug

 

When I first installed my OME coils, it looked alot like that, same colour actually. It settled at least and inch and a half. It no longer looks like a cat in heat.

 

x's 2...give the LC's time to settle. They will sag some and the rake issue is much reduced.

 

Throw a couple bags of sand in the back. It will help the springs settle faster. I went to Mexico with 4 passengers and about 400lbs of supplies and my vew ome 901's settled about an inch.

 

it will settle...i think it looks mintt

 

NEW springs will settle. USED spring have already settled.

I think it looks fine.

 

i think it looks really good. i like some rake.

 

Yes they are used springs so they should be pretty much already settled. I may try after a little while to add an extra 1/2 in in the front

 

The coils I put in the back of mine were used off a 97 with over 100k on it. Mine still settled significantly, I think it all has something to do with the different weight of the truck.

 

I would think that if the springs were in storage a while, then they may have taken a set, in which case, they might settle again. I'm no engineer, but that'd be my guess.

 

You are probably right. The guy I got them from had them for like 6mo-1 yr so they may

 

Looks way better than a saggy rear!

I think it looks really good, but thats just me...

 

looks alright, get a nice rear bumper, add a sub, it'll lower the back.

 

Weird...you would think since the land cruiser is heavier than the 4Runner they wouldnt settle.
