So, are you going with a shackle relocation to the front?


In all seriousness, I think back to your experience on Roller Coaster Hill on the Behind the Rocks Trail where I think you ended up having to air up your rear tires a bit to minimize the squat the the rear that was putting your 4Runner at a steep enough angle you couldn’t get the front tires to bite. You leaf spring tech post further explained what was happening with your soft and long front springs allowing the front axle to walk forward and lifting the front end even more.  Suspension travel is useful, but springs that are too soft can lead to poor performance as well. All things in moderation...
