Best suspension

[toyhunter]

What do you think is the best suspension kit out there which comes in a kit or package for a 80-85 toy pickup or 4runner??? No custom suspensions  just kits like all pro or marlins etc.

What do you think and why

I think Marlins leafs would be the best because their a simple design, rugged, and cheaper than coils.  Plus with leafs you don't have to worry about making a link system to the axle.  Just my two cents.

Our 79-85 kits includes:

Front 4" lift, extended length leaf springs (made in USA)
Rear 56 long 4" lift extended leaf springs (made in USA)
High steer crossover steering kit w/mount and steering stabilizer
Long travel front shock hoops
Four 5125 Bilstein shocks
Set of three extended brake lines
Front and rear U-bolt flip kits featuring 9/16" bolts
Front 1" drop spring hanger w/gussets
Front and rear extended length shackles
Rear axle shock mounts
Rear spring mounts
Replacment rear axle spring perches
New shackle bolts and polly bushings

Total cost is $1,795

If you want kit form, but want a bit more exotic, check out Schaffer's offroad for a kit form 3 link that retains the stock gas tank location and makes exhaust routing easier than a 4-link. IIRC the kit runs about $800

What kind of a kit does Foothill offer?  I have been to there store many times and i didn't know they had a kit for toyota's.

Check out foothills website for it

Is Foothill still in business? They have not been paying their bills.

why not rears up front witha  hybrid pack. i know u said no custom but it is easier that crap to make no special tools required.

I hered foothill was going out of business, but i thought it was just a rumor.  I looked on there website and couldn't find the suspension stuff.  I went to the store a couple weeks ago and it looked like they were doing fine.

I have a combination of allpro 4" springs, foothill front hanger (way better than any other I have seen) and Marlin high steer (the best)  and shock hoops, couldn't be happier with the results!!!

I think if you can afford it, deavers are the best leaf spring out there, but the marlin kit is the best bang for the buck.
