Any new pics or impressions?

I'm trying to decide what to do with my current 891's and stock cone-

1. Remove cone and add 1" Cornfed spacer

2. Buy 892's and hope they aren't too stiff

3. Buy FJ80 front coils and hope the lift isn't too much

 

i've got two sets. i'll take and post some pics tomorrow before i send on set off in the mail

 

do you know the years (and maybe miles) from each set?

 

Wow, I just stumbled upon this thread. Im suprised I didn't see it earlier!!!

I bought Andy's springs, I think he was over it

I didn't realize all you guys have been putting them in! Im stoked to hear that they have been good to you.

I'll be putting mine on next week sometime. I wanted to get them so I could match my front. I'll be putting 2" coil spacers on them as well.. EEEEeekkk...

I'll also need to buy some longer shocks... The rear of the 4runner definetly isint setup for all this lift.

 

i got the years, but not the miles

 

sold mine. way too long for a moderate lift. these are TALL.

go with an airbag spring helper in the rear... .that's what i'm doing...

 

I just got back from Moab. I ran Prichett Canyon with this set up. I personally like this set up better than the 891's I had. They are not as stiff, they articulate very well and just plain ride better on and off road.

Here are a few pics...

 

what brakes lines are you guys running with the LC coils????

 

When I swapped in my e-locked axle I added an extra stock brake hose essentially doubling it's length.

 

what year cruizer did they come from? how many miles? they one's that i got were WAY longer than my 2.5/3.5 downeys...

 

I am trying to track that info down...not sure

Here is my compare pic

 

It looks to me like yours had one more wrap and the wire may be slightly thicker...

 

well, now i know why. count the number of wraps... mine (one's i sold) have 8 and yours have 7!

lol... looks like we had our revelation at the same time!

 

Well I hope I get 3.5 inches from them

I cant wait to get them on...

Now to figure out what to do with my conrol arms back there. Right now they are fully friggin extended.

 

andy what year did yours come from?

 

i think they were 93's with about 125k on them if i recall correctly...

 

I pulled out my LC 80 coils from a 96 this weekend and I'm going to swap in some LX450 coils I picked up from a 97. I'm hoping they give me a little less rear lift. At least less than the 4.5" I got from the 80's. I'll let you know.

 

BTW: I did not put my rear sway bar back on. I have now driven 1000 miles or so with out one.

 

Thanks guys. I'm wondering about the difference b/n Andy's and Jims-7 wraps vs. 8. I guess at a junkyard I'll know to look for 7. Maybe they are LX450 springs that have the 7?

 

Are you running limiting straps or anything in the rear? Or are you just letting the shocks be your limiting strap??

I currently have mine disco'd be have not been wheeling with it yet, i cant say that i notice too much of a difference, i'm use to it since i havent had my front sway bar connected for 8 months.
