What do you think??????????
« on: Oct 20, 2006, 02:42:10 PM »
I have an 85 runner and am starting the lift on it, my question is this. If I am going to put my rear springs on the front, what marlin springs should i go with on the rear to make it level to the front. I would like to run 35" tires and was thinking about the 5" rear springs, however, I don't want to look like a stink bug driving down the road. Will 5"ers be too much or are they ok?
Thanks for the help.

With 35's I would go with the 4" just to stay away from the sport rake.

Even if you put the 4" springs in the back, you will have a rake.  I ran rears up front for a while until I switched to 4" all of the way around.  I can tell you the 4" gave me about 1.5" more lift.  You would be better off going with 4" up front also.

Are 5"ers going to be too much for a DD as well as an off roader?

Sport rake means your front will be lower than you rear.  With Marlin 5" in the rear, you're going to have to be very creative to get stock toy rears up front to be the same level as those 5" rears.
