Flexing at night...

Well the time has come to change springs in the back. Thanks to Kraze and a few beers and pizza. This was the end result of today's work. Last pic is of Kraze's truck with the 8 wraps. It is TALL, and yes those or 35's also.

Couple things to note. The '99 tall coils, when uncompressed, are actually a good amount taller than the 906's, but we were still able to gain a solid 2 inches of lift, even though the 906's had been on my 4runner for 100k+ miles.

In a pinch, a 4th gen OE style replacement shock actually works pretty well with 906's.

This job was probably more of an 18 pack job than a 12 pack job, but we still managed.

And Deer Springs has way too many spiders at night!

Night flexing, round two:




And the story about how we got stuck at that exact spot, found here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/genera...ml#post1448166

There is a plan in place for that issue soon. I agree.

Just read through the story, makes me think of a similar experience I had. After having done some trimming, I went to a large dirt mound to test everything out. It ended up sputtering and dying and wouldn't crank over. I threw it in neutral and rolled it down the hill, tried to start it up again and it worked. I finally realized what happened, but at least now I know not to go wheeling with less than a quarter tank!
