That footage of the suspension cycling through is really cool. Whats also interesting is how much the body mounts compress for that extra inch of suspension travel. Cool truck

I’d rather put duro bumps and get poly body mounts.

I could not agree more about the suspension. I first got a very mid to low-level suspension set up for our 4runner. I soon realized the benefit of spending a little extra cash on all four corners equals comfort, maintenance, speed, and overall more fun and knowledge. Hope you guys get to start your travels soon and I hope the little videos keep coming!

Did you run spacers in the rear? If not does the front tire poke out. Look really noticeable when looking from the rear of the truck?

Yup, 1.5" spacers in the rear.

That was a good idea to take that thicker leaf out of the leaf pack. A big mistake I made once was to use a Rancho add-a-leaf and after 5 years it had put a bad pressure point of the stock 88 sr5 yota leaf pack and broke the oem rear leaf pack.

Hey man, love the build and great review. I’ve got a 87 4Runner that I just finished putting the same kit on. I use King 2.5 8” coil overs. My question is this… I’m not get any real up travel. Any suggestions. As you know there’s not really any instructions to speak of but everything looks like what I’ve seen. Any thoughts?
@DeskToGlory2 жыл бұрын
Are you saying that it’s stiff and the suspension isn’t compressing? I ended up putting in 500lb/in springs and that helped a lot. I revalved the shocks a couple times to reduce compression damping as well. That helped soften the ride. After a month in Baja and a second application of grease to the upper bushings I found that the suspension was less stiff as well.
@benagol72152 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I spoke to Total Chaos about the stiffness, they said it needs breaking in and that those are the coils they recommend for my truck with that kit. They also recommended 150 psi in the shocks. I might play with lessening that too before I fork out more on different coils. Anyway, thanks again

Way better than with the torsion bars. It has some body roll when the shocks are on full soft, but when set to 4 or 5 the roll is minimal. It could probably use a front sway bar.
