Re: taco rear spring sag.
« on: Apr 13, 2009, 12:23:04 PM »
ok the trailer in question here has a dry weight of 900 lbs.  so wet and loaded its about 1250 tops.. the tongue weight is next to nothing i can move it around the yard by hand.  i put about 250 tops in the bed when camping, plus the campershell and kayak.  so overall its not a heavy load at all.  Even with this weight you think the allpros will be to soft?  thanks again for the info im just trying to pick the right setup.  im also having trouble finding the pro comp and superlift leafs for the 99 taco... 

I run Alcan springs that have a higher spring rate than a Marlin or All Pro spring and my 4Runner gets soft when I'm loaded up for camping, or four adults plus the Rottweiler in the back.  It's not bad with the Rancho 9000 shocks, but it wasn't pretty with the Bilsteins.

You just have to know what your expecting.  Why purchase springs that were not designed for your intended use?  :headscratch:
1989 4Runner: Dual Ultimate (Inchworm front & Marlin 4.70 rear), Marlin Twin Stick, 1200-lb clutch, 4.88 R&P, Aussie Front, Detroit rear, 30-spline Longs, Long hub gears, ARP hub and knuckle studs & 35x12.50 Cooper STT PRO tires.  Marlin rear bumper & sliders.  FROR front bumper.  SAS with Alcan springs & Rancho 9000XL shocks.  Budbuilt Bolt-on traction bar.  Custom Interior Cage by Those Guys Rod and Customs.
