So after about 9 months of searching I finally managed to acquire a set of Performance Products 1" lift springs. They greatly improved my ride quality and gave me an additional 1.25" lift. From ground to fender I am at 36 3/4. I took a couple of quick pics today. I'll try and get some better ones at some point.

looks good, any chance you want to get me some more info so i could put the info in my database for others in the future?

Sure, I'll get you all the specs tommorow.

 

Just curious where you managed to find the springs?
Some say they rode too harsh while others liked them. They've been discontinued for a awhile now.

Looks good though. Remove your running boards and step back while you enjoy a free mod.

 

Thanks for the compliment! Well,The rear springs are brand new, some guy in Ca had them and never even put them on. He listed them on Ebay. The front set I found on another forum from a guy that had them sitting in his shed forever. I am very impressed with them! They are a lot smoother than my stock springs were. From what I researched most people ran Bilstein shocks with the PP springs and I believe that's where they were getting the harsh ride from. I'm running Trekmasters.
I thought about removing the running boards but its more practical for me to leave them on since its our family vehicle.

 

i ran those same front springs for awhile. was very rough for me but on the highway they were awesome for high speed turns. they didnt sag much either. good stuff.

 

Persistence pays off! Congratulations, I liked mine. Wish they were still available. I ran the Bilsteins. I would call the ride firm, but not harsh. That's how I liked it.

 

Thanks Paul! I tried finding your old 4runner in the salvage yards out in Cali, but it hasn't shown up yet. Lol

 

Nice work! Looking good, glad you finally found a set, mine still are not on yet

So you went with the Tockio's? and you are enjoying the ride? Mine new 3rd Gen is a "Sport Package" best I can tell and much stiffer then my 98' so I wasn't sure, what to expect with the PP coils, guess we'll see.

 

Thanks Nate! I cant believe you still didnt get yours on yet! I waited long enough trying to find a set, so as soon as they arrived I put them on. Ya, I already had the Tocikos on. Trust me, they are way better than the stock springs. Make sure you post up a pic when you get them on.

 

I know, I'm a total slacker It looks from the pic that you may have a very slight rake from back to front, is that the case? Have you loaded down the back with gear yet?

 

Ya, It is very slight but you have to remenber that the rears are brand new so they should settle some. I had somewhere between 100-125lbs in the back when the pic was taken.

How is the PP/Tokico setup holding up? 4Runner looks nice!
