2nd Gen (94) 4runner lift questions.

[Mac5005]

I've searched and searched and read all over the typical toyota sites with no conclusive answers.

What year landcruiser rear coils work to lift the rear of my 94 4runner?

How much lift do the provide?

Can landcruiser shocks be used as well?

I plan to drop the pan hard bracket on the axle, and I'm doing away with the load sensitive proportioning valve.


For the front, I'm planning on 1.5" ball joint spacers.

Eventually will order some SAW or OME torsion bars but not now.

I'm also dropping the front diff and sway bar 1" for the new engine clearance, and to take some angle out of the CV shafts at ride height.

What shocks for the front with 1.5 - 2" lift?

Thanks

Did you look in the toyota bible on pirate? I always found the answers I had when building stuff.

No, I try to avoid pirate unless Google has a search result that looks pertinent.

I will check it out though.

Thanks.[emoji106]

@toyota231 has built several 2nd gens. Maybe he will chime in.

Mac, I'm fairly certain that you want fj80 coils. Iirc it's 2" lift.

Never done this, it's just from memory of reading. I think this is discussed in depth on IH8MUD.

The lc coils by themselves are normal 3-5 inches higher than sagging coils. And depending on the load I saw where someone got some extremely tight ones and it gave them 7 which was like a 4'

 

[Mac5005]

Some say 2", some say 3 to 5,

I figured someone would have done this and know something more certain.

Big difference between 2 or 5 inches of lift....

paging @toyota231 again.

We put fj80 coils in a 90 with stock RUF and was pretty level. It took out the sag and gave enough lift to fit 33" ltbs. I would say it was 2" of lift.
