rear suspension
« on: Sep 07, 2005, 10:15:37 PM »
so I just purchased a 1993 toyota four runner and I plan to do a straight axle swap soon, how ever thats not my problem area. I dont know much about the rear suspension on my new rig and I have no clue where to look for good flexible strong kits. I was thinking of doing leaf springs in the rear but I dont know if there is a better solution. What did all you guys do to your newer runners? Also where should i look for good rear suspension kits for it? any info would be great. Thanks.

All-Pro Off Road sells landcruiser springs that fit your 4Runner and give about 5.5" of lift. They also sell all the extended links you will need. This 4 link setup pretty well and rides very smooth on the road. check it out.

under heavy use you will rip the stock link mounts off..go 4 link or rear leafs because you will be unhappy with the stock runner link set up..not to mention its pretty weak..for a tril rig it might be fine,,but if rocks or abuse is in its future go another route..
Forgiveness is between them and god..
Its my job to arrange the meeting!

well it will only be a trail rig for a while since its my daily driver and its in mint condition, but as soon as I get enough money for a new-ish truck it will become crawler. When that day finally arrives it will probably get 4 linked in the rear with full widths and all that junk. Thanks for the advice guys.
