installed ome rear springs on my 1994 4runner,now back is higher than front.do i need to get matching front springs?

 

There are no matching springs for the front...2nd Gen front suspension uses torsion bars. If you want, you can crank those up a little to get some lift in the front. With my OME coils in the back, the back sits just BARELY higher than the front (like under .5" )...how much higher is the back on yours? I wish I could tell ya how exactly to crank your Tbars Try searching, sorry hope that helps. Oh, and the springs should settle a bit...which ones did you get, the 900's or 901's?

 

i got the 901 heavy duty springs

There ya go, dude. Post up some pics of your Runner!

 

I installed the OMEs on my '92. I cranked up the torsion bars several times because they settled lower at different rates finally settling on about 1" lift in front. You should invest in manual hubs if you crank them up so you don't wear out the cv boots, because they will rub.

 

i like the look personally of the back sitting higher than the front. got that look goin on my 57' chevy stepside truck. its yummy. but i cant help other than just blabbering sorry!

Is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen when you buy the springs (I am not so fond of the "ass up" look no matter how much i hate the "ass sag" problem...)

spring recomendations anyone?

 

Just put them on, see how they settle, and if it's butt-up, then crank the T-bars a bit.

 

I have a 94 runner too and was looking to get the ome springs and shocks. can you tell me and provide a link to where you got them? having troubles finding them for genII.

 

I got mine from Mike at Extreme Off-Road, check the vendors s ection. Ajz, before you crank your T-bars, wait a month until they settle.

 

You can always crank the t-bars for leveling the front but it will ride alot stiffer. A better option would be SDORI 1.5 Ball Joint Spacers and just alittle crank on the t-bars. And yes, I do sell SDORI ball joint spacers. They are $109.00 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 and $112.00 to Canada. For more information or to order reply to info@trdparts4u.com

Hope this helps.................
