Dont you mean superstiff?

Dont even waste your time on using those types of springs as a "quick fix". They will cause more headaches(in more ways than one) in the long run. I would scrap together a f150 or chevy junkyard pack instead....anything but procomp, superlift, skyjacker etc...

Alright its update time. The beast is back from the dead and its sittling a little taller than before and puking a little less birf barf. I ended up getting the springs out of a parts truck and taking my current fronts out and taking them to my local spring place to get rearched. I made sure they didn't add any more leaves to the front (hits stock steering) and then really confused them when i said i wanted one front to have 3/8" more arch than the other. After I explained it to them they still didn't quite understand but did it anyways and now my truck actually sits prety level.they ended up removing and replacig the bottom two leaves in the front and added a leaf to the rear. The rear is a little jacked up but i don't mind. I also got new rear shocks and bumpstops from toyota. The front axle i enjoyed rebuilding, I have had cleaned up spindles, wheel hubs and knuckles and axles in my basement for months now. i did kinof a quick half ass job at cleaning and painting the housing but took my time assembling the knuckles. marlins kit comes with thick and thin shims for the trunion bearings and after measuring the stock i ended up using a thick and thin for every cap. wich was all of the shims. it still wasn't quite as much as stock but it felt good and turns smoothly. The only troubles i ran into was installing the thick felt covers from somewhere

because my bolts were a little short and i had to really push on the felts to get the bolt started. the other thing is the backing plate eliminators. I had to rig up a brake line mount. so i cut it off the backing plate and bolted it tightly to the caliper bolt washer thingy. I was out of black paint so they got 1995 4runner gold paint lol. I also did my wheel bearings at the same time and i think i've packed more bearings in the last week than my intire life lol. anyways heres the picks of how my truck sits now and the front axle not puking.

Front springs actually do have arch.

havn't really updated in a LONG time. haha, found a local toyota forum and have been posting there for the most part.

Here are some updated specs:

same 22re
r151f with r150 ratio's
23 spline competition series 4.7s in a single case
5.29 e-locker diffs
IFS rear axle
85 front axle
fj80 1" MC
FROR taco Brake kit with 1996 4runner 16"wheel package rotors and calipers
1" wheel cylinders
Adjustable prop valve
Rears up front with sky manufacturing high clearance spring hanger (.75" drop .75" forward)
4" boomerang shackles (chopped down sky manufacturing)
Stock rear springs that have been tampered with and 4.5" shackles.
highsteer
custom hacked transfercase cross member
custom gas tank skidplate (3/16")
315/75r16 km2's
Pretty sure i'm missing a whole bunch.

currently: (sits 22" to the frame rail under the door) front axle is acutally about 1 3/8" forward of this due to firewall clearance issues
