Suspension parts

Have a 84 pickup and was wondering where to order suspension parts? It seems there aren't many web sites for these pickup trucks.
thank you

I need leafs for an 85 Runner. I can't find much of anything on the inter webs that doesn't lift the truck.

I know I need shocks but I have no idea what to get.

If you give me that runner I'll take good care of it for you.

There isn't anyone that I know of that reproduces stock height springs, which is a shame, because there is a lot of people that would like to restore these trucks and not lift them. You might be able to find a spring shop that can re-arch your stock springs to factory specs. Or if you want to go with a small lift, OME (old man emu) makes a 2" lift.

Do you need to replace the shocks when you do the 2" lift?

Yeah, you'll need to get some longer shocks. Rocky Road Outfitters have complete Old Man Emu lift kits with shocks as well. http://www.rocky-road.com/old-man-emu-4runner.html
Or If you stepped up to a 3" lift you could switch over to hi-steer down the road, lol! Btw, you got a super clean looking truck!
