BJ Spacers and Coils? 2nd Gen Runner

So I think I am getting closer to what I want. I am going to start with BJ spacers up front. My question is which coils setup out back? Should I go spacer/coil or just coils. I searched and found just to much information. Are the LC coils going to be too much lift out back? They sound awfully tall for the 1.5" BJ spacer up front. I saw some info on 3-4" lift up front with BJ spacers and I am assuming the rest is via the TB adjustment, correct or did I miss something?

TIA ... Lee

Probably depends on your vehicle and need. If the existing springs are OK (like you don't bottom out over bumps) then spacers would give you a decent lift to match the ball joint spacers:

If your rear springs are badly sagging and you need to beef them up, the new coils would work. There are a number of options in varying heights that would work.

Thanks for the info. I would like to bring the rear up some as it does have the usual sag. Any suggestions on coils? Is there an approximate rage in lift the LC coils give. Also how do I order/pay for items from you, is credit card billing accepted?

TIA ... Lee

I'm assuming you're talking about a 2nd gen runner.
If so, check out this thread.

Wow! I never thought id see somebody from Ridgecrest on here!
Thats where i grew up and lived for almost 20 years.
So hows the heat killin' you? I dont remember seeing very many 4x4 rigs there. Do you have any pics of yours? Sounds like your hooking it up for that hell hole you live in..haha! Man i seriously miss off roading in all that open desert and the Sierra mountains. Sorry for the Hijack but Ridgecrest brings back so many memories.
BTW, welcome to the forum!

There are tons of off roaders here now days. Ridgecrest has boomed lately too. NO pics yet but I will eventually, it's just your garden variety 2nd Gen Runner thoguh.

Thanks for all the input, it's greatly appreciated.
