Im getting probably 4 " of lift from them... I am using 3" spacers too. heh

As for the brake line, I am using All-pro SS braided lines... The linkages I am unsure what ou are talking about!

 

Mainly the parking brake is what I was talking about. Is there a specific All-pro part number that works for our rigs?

Chris

 

Chris-

Just get a rubber stock replacement brake line and add it to the one on your truck. This effectively doubles the length of your rear brake line. I got one from a friend who had gont to an aftermarket SS line. I had to put one loose zip-tie around it and something else to keep it away from the tailpipe, but it still has room to move through the suspension cylcle.

 

So, they just connect together and I'm good to go? How long should I get an where's the best place to get one?

Chris

 

I think all Toy pickups/4runners have the same rear brake line. I told them I had a 3rd gen 4runner and they said it was the same since 79....?

The rear brake line is only $20 from All-pro, so if that extra one costs more, just get the SS braided one.

 

I'll call them today. Thanks,

Chris

 

Got my springs unpacked, and hopefully I'll get them installed tonight. I'll take plenty of pics for comparison. They are complements of Brett and a solid 8 wrap coil with roughly a 21" length. We'll see what happens.

Chris

 

Ok, here's the details:

Driverside Passengerside
Stock 20 3/8" 20 9/16"
LC Coils 26 7/8" 27 3/16"
Difference 6 1/2" 6 10/16"

So, there's the difference. It's a huge difference, that's for sure. But, after looking at it I think it's going to be great! Plus, to top it all off, I sold my Cornfed spacers tonight, so my new suspension setup is costing me less than $100 for the front and rear setup. Rock and roll!

So, I know you all want to see the pics, so here they are:

















So, as you can see the bumper is very near completion too. Boy it really feels good to get these two things completed and I'm excited to hit the trails with the new front suspension once I get the springs here. What do you guys think? It doesn't appear to have too much rake to me, but I'm not too particular about it either.

Chris

 

Sorry for the dark pictures, but that's as good as it gets tonight. It's -7 degrees outside!!!

Chris

 

I think its bad ass !!!! Good job.

 

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

Chris

 

Was the stock height w/o the cornfeds in there?

 

Nope, big difference, heh?

After measuring the height difference, once thing to keep in mind is that they're approx 3" longer springs, but actually since the spacer won't add anymore than 2.5", that section of the LC coil helps to lift it even more. Did that make any sense? I couldn't believe it was over 6 1/2" of height difference.

Chris

 

6" of lift is a huge difference. Maybe it's gonna settle out to be less? Crap, now I'm scared of the ones I have, I'm looking for 3" of lift and these springs are only 2" shorter than the ones you have.

 

looks like a truck again

 

Will these longer coils put alot of stress on the driveline, etc ??? Although I love the raked look, I was wondering if it could do damage after awhile ? Thanks in advance.

 

Looks nice. I can't believe you were in your garage working last night. Hope you have a heater cause I was in my house and I was struggling to stay warm. it was COLD last night.

 

It was freezing to say the least. I'm going to tap into my air ducts and put two vents in the garage. I don't care that it will cost me more, because we have 4 dogs and it's too cold in the garage right now for them to stay in there without some heat.

Brett,

I don't know what to tell you other than try and see what happens. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how it turns out. I think you'll be fine.

As far as the driveline, I just purchased the All-pro extended SS rear brake line to prevent that problem. And, now I'm on a mission to find out why the driver's side doesn't droop as far as the passenger side does. I think it's the e-brake cable that I need to mount and extend differently, and then I'm pretty positive after last nights spring swap that 12" of additional droop in the rear of our vehicles is definitely possible. Yippee! Of course, noe links and joints, plus shock relocation will be required, but it will work.

Chris

 

What made it look like a truck again, Eric? My completed bumper or the additional height in the rear?

Chris

 

Chris, where did do the measurements from? Top of rim to bottom of fender? If so, that's a ton of lift, well how much metal did you trim of the rear fenderwells?

I have 14.75" from the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender on the rear of mine right now with the OME 891's ( no spacers or trim packers). Of course I have a 1" bodylift and you have a 3" bodylift-did you cut 3-4" of metal off the rear fenderwells?

Mine is actually sitting higher in the front right now by 0.75" at 15.5" top of rim to bottom of fender.

I just realized that if I get another 2" of lift in the rear, then I'm gonna have to buy a new hitch to tow my camper-it's maxed out right now with an 8" drop hitch. :pat:
