Topic: what springs

[motoracer]

ive got  3 inch spring with 2 inch blocks on the rear of my toyota. i was wanting to put new 6 inch springs to get more flex ,but i cant relocate my shackle mounts .so what would be a good spring to put on  that is the stock length of a toyota?  i can move my front  mount forward  but not my rear shackle mount.

shoot just add whatever length to the rear you need to make it work    Ive seen your fab work you can do it!

[motoracer [OP]]

thank you   but  dont know what length i could go with and how far forward i can go

leave the top toy leaf
add  atleast 4 f150 rear leafs. early 90s f150, narrow ones
as they have a huge arch.

you wont get alot of flex from stock toy leafs tho

i bought superlift 3 inch lift springs and they beat bolts out of my truck they were so stiff, i put stocks and blocks back

ive got rough country 3 inch springs  they are very stiff. not a lot of flex.

I used F-150 springs moved the front mount like three inches forward and left the rear shackle at the factory location but I do have a 1 1/2" longer than stock shackle. The shackle angle isnt to bad and it works great all for about $41 and a ubolt flip kit.

I ran the Superlift 4.5 inch lift on my 85 truck for several years and the rear springs didn't flex much, but the stability allowed me to climb like mad.  I replaced them with an Alcan pack that was stock length and they worked really well, at least in my opinion.  I had them built so that I could still cruise on the highway with control, but I'm sure they could do anything you want.  Their extended length spring option moves the front mount 5 inches forward and leaves the rear mount in the stock location.  I have those on my 89 4Runner and they work great as well.

i run RUFs mixed with some wranglers and they work awesome! take out the rear blocks and run RUF

[greg_k113]

Why would you use a RUF pack in the rear.Then it's just rear springs in the rear.

[ryan_ackerman]

haha my bad i was damn tired when i read that post im runnin chevies in the rear with overload removed and a 2 inch block. why cant you move the rear shackle mount?
