Hello all! I have recently "finished" with my SAS on my 1990 4runner. I tried to keep it as low as possible, and as you can see in the pics, it is a bit more high in the front than the rear...

This bothers me a lot. I am looking to raise the rear, however I already have 3" springs (new) on the rear of the truck in the pictures... So, my question is, what the hell do I do to get the rear up to match the front? I know I can do a leaf swap, but dont really want to do that right now.. maybe down the road when I decide to go full retard and make it huge... for now, I want the rear to just match the front using the coil setup.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? The current springs I have on there are Pro-comp 3".

Thank you all for your help!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

I believe the options are rear fj80 lift springs instead of stock fj80 springs, which will already lift the rear 3 1/2" to 4", or redo the link setup in the rear and go with coil overs. Leafs end up being cheaper and easier to figure out, hence why it's the most popular solution.

 

I too had 3" springs when I did my SAS. Rear was low. I added 6" shackles, 1 inch block and some flat leafs.


It still sits a half inch high in the front. But it will settle. And or i can add leaf or 2 more in the back.
If you need the height just get the 4" trail gear springs and be done with it.

 

I have coils in the rear tho... not leafs yet

 

Coil spacers can be had cheap, but are far from ideal.

 

He already has lift coils in the back.

How much too low is the rear? This might help with the replies.

 

Convert your 4Runner to rear Leafs...

 

Believe it or not, much like lift blocks, coil spacers are available in different thicknesses. Cheap way to go would be to buy thicker spacers, best would be leaf swap or improve the 4 link and add coil overs.

 

put blocks on

 

get lift springs with a different spring rate, or taller springs, like 4". also, wait for your front leafs to settle in if you just finished the SAS

 

When I lifted my 94 I had the same problem. I ended up using a metal spacer (I think it was from All Pro) which got me level. I hate using spacers but it worked really well and with the spring length/rate the truck drove and handled great and I could still stuff the rear axle into the stops.
