Ordered and received my Downey Heavy Duty rear coil springs and installed them on Saturday. I gained 2" of lift in the rear and a much more stable ride ( FIRM ) Now I need the ball joint spacers to even the 4 runner back up.

What do you think ?

 

Bout time you modded that stocky Doc? Are you still easy?

 

Money was the issue !!!!!! I've tried to attach the pictures and can't figure out how to do it. Pictures are hosted at Image Shack.

Yes - I am still easy - ball joint spacers are next - sliders are about to be ordered - yeah - I got the fever !

 

Try the FAQ section on attaching pics or just post a link.

Now that you've got the fever your wallet will never be the same, nor will your rig! It'll thank you the next time you do Tellico!

 

 

What's up Doc? The rear end she is up!

Looks good! Looks pretty level sitting now already?!

 

The rear is higher - feels like a hot rod - jacked up in the rear.
I do not want to crank up the front end - ball joint spacers will be added.
Wait until the fall run - I'll be ready !

 

View from the rear - lot's more ground clearance !!!!!!!

 

Looks good.

Maybe it's just me but I think a full inch in the front would be too much. Anyone else think so too?

 

Thanks Agrunner - clearance when wheeling is not the problem - up front
I ran Tellico with the SE4RJ and had no problem - I did drag the rear quite a bit but the 4 runner - even stock - was awesome ! With the new coil springs the view out the back window is a lot better. Driving the runner now
seems like it is headed down hill all the time - probably just me - I drove it sagging for so many years ! It was money well spent !

 

Looks good! I don't know if you need a full 1.5" up front based on those pics...might just be the angle they were taken at.

What size tires are you running?
What shocks are you running with this new set up?

I am getting close to installing the 1.5"HD springs as well but I can not decide on shocks or what, if any, I will need to do with lifting the front. I am thinking about some BJ spacers but making a request to have a set made that are 1.0"...not sure just yet...

 

Thanks for the input guy's - I think it looks pretty good. I had not measured the lift since Sunday morning - it actually was higher at first. I've measured
between the wheel well opening and the edge of the rim - front and back
and now the front is 1/2" higher - I do carry a lot of tools though and they also were re-loaded since the first measurement. The springs are settling - I may decide against the ball joint spacers - for now and get the rock sliders
next. Just bought a welder with my neighbor - it may get interesting in the future !

Oh - the tires are 31 x 10.5 x 15 - These Cooper Tires are the best that I have ever ran - grip is great and they are not noisy with a pretty agressive tread pattern. At 15 lbs - they wheel nice ! Shocks are still what was on it - dark and dirty ! They work well - don't leak and they are paid for. I am thinking of a 1" body lift - nothing major.

Sorry for rambling - love my truck and love yotatech - also been drinking a few beers ! party on dudes !

Yea, looks sweet. I will be doing the exact same thing to my 91 in one to two pay checks!
