please critique my suspension package I just ordered
Any comments on the new suspension I ordered last night? I will be putting this on my 1999 4runner 2wd v6 that is still running the stock stuff with 150k on the odo. I didnt get the extended studs or diff drop because I am just looking for a better than stock ride, not really a huge lift. Am I missing any critical parts? Should I get new springs isolators etc?

Item: COIL SPRING, Tundra, 4WD, Right, Access Cab, w/Off Road Pkg. 2000 - 2002

he should be fine up front as well. he's 2WD, so he's about 150# lighter than a 4WD. that would relate to a slightly higher stance, but still less than 1/2".
IIRC, the 890's are good for about 1.5". he should get 1.5" from the front Tundras. Make sure to re-install the rear conical bumpstops to get an extra 1/2" in the back for a perfect stance...
Also, for a better ride, take a saw and trim off the lower "puck" from the conical bumpstop. It will result in a much-improved ride that will bottom out less.

thanks for the feedback guys. used the almighty Search button and it looks like I'll be ordering one of the panhard drop bars tonight from Steve. I hope the wife likes her new suspension. Now I'm just waiting for the motor to go so I can do a fresh rebuild and a supercharger.

I would try the Tundra coils without the top out spacers. Since your lifting a 2WD, you will not have the weight of the front diff or any sort of aftermarket bumper and winch.
Other than that it looks like you have everything.

Over time, with the axle shifted, the passenger side upper stud will eventually break off.

Here it is. Its a little stiffer than it used to be obviously but it handles awesome. I cant wait to throw the new sway bars and end links in
Now do you guys have any suggestions to fill those huge gaps? Remember this is the wifes grocery getter so something street oriented. I was thinking maybe the lexus wheels or TRD 20" wheels but those are over $2k.
