red z in Canada we pay more. If you order from the States you will pay for shipping and duty. I have ordered loads from America for my 2nd Gen including an Old Man Emu steering dampener as I live in Yellowknife so I get bent over in shipping no matter where I buy.
Either pay the $100 at North Shore or pay over $100 in shipping and duty. If you are buying a bunch of stuff ask for a deal. I always get bargains by asking is this your best price. They want your business, there is Vancouver area competition.
Seeing as you can buy it from a Canadian local retailer perhaps you should support your local economy. When I am BC I buy as much as I can through T&S Suspension in Port Kells. The guy has a bit off a grump reputation but I liked his honesty and no BS attitude.
I assume your are in British Columbia right?

what shocks are people running with the cruiser coils? I was looking at the bilstein 5125 for the rear and for the front too with my 1.5" ball joint spacers. would those be too long? im kinda picky, id like it to ride as nice as possible and matching shocks cause it would drive me nuts if they didnt match ocd wise lol.i dont mind spending an extra couple bucks for some nice shocks

Hey guys looking for some help from people who run the Rancho RS9000xl the part numbers for the R: rs999187 F:rs999145. I cant find info if these are made for lifted runners. I will be doing the LC coils or the OME coils and im looking for a decent shock for the lift.
Anyone know if these will work? I found a killer deal on the rears.

New to the forum, did you all have problems with the rear end sagging on your 2nd gen 4runners? Thinking of a 2inch lift for my 1994 4runner, but don't know if I need to change the coils on the rear?

Common problem, spring sag over time. New coils or a coil spring spacer are some options:

Assuming 2" (inch), then it should be OK, as mentioned, keep the speed down and check the handling on a quiet street or parking lot. You could also try a "driveway alignment", to get it fairly close:

Hi everyone. I have a question.... and yes I read through a good 60 % of this thread (again ? )
So, I have been working on gathering my 1.5 inch lift components (suspension of course). I found some progressive rate coils for the rear that I think I want ( http://www.northwestoffroad.com/part...suspension.php ) if anyone has any input on those please speak up!
So, this brings me to my question/concern. I want as much flex as I can get out of my rear end. I do take this thing offroading but I need to maintain a decent height and road going abilities. So, I was thinking that perhaps a longer yet softer spring would be beneficial... My idea is that when one side is compressing and the other side extending, the short spring stops pushing down on the axle long before shock reaches it's length limit. And those few inches are not really adding any traction since the spring is not compressed at all anymore. ANYWAY, so has anyone tried something like this? Or, are some of these aftermarket springs already accounting for this? (I understand installation of the springs will be difficult.. that's ok)
