H&R raising springs - Any reviews? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Blundberg5 · 03-30-2020, 10:57 AM

So I've done some searching and seen a few mention questions around this kit but I can't find any topics discussing pros/cons of it.

Is anyone running the H&R raising springs front and back? If so - what shocks did you pair with?

I've been looking for a lift with 2" front and 1" rear, not interested in spacers so have been looking at different options. Came across this H&R kit but can't find much more about it. Anyone who is running this or has pics please share.

Interesting... H&R springs are big in the car and racing industry. They are great springs and a great company. I wish there was more info on these. I would have no issue going H&R.

I had H&R on my Eagle Talon back in high school for awhile - they were pretty nice. These look pretty good - did one quick google search and it looks like they are about $330 for the kit?

I'm guessing we don't see a ton of them on here because so many companies make springs for the 4Runners and seem to have a large focus on the off-road scene. A few of them (I'm sure I've missed) are

-Toytec
-Dobinsons
-ARB/OME
-Eibach (make for everything, have great reviews on here)

I had the same thought as you both - H&R has been around for a while and i had some VW friends running those back years ago. At some point it looks like they manufactured springs for another company that had some good reviews on the 4Runner (forget the name). However, nothing to be found on this kit except that it's relatively inexpensive.

I used to have H&R springs in my Acura Integra. They rode very well.

From what I looked up, they make the springs for certain models. SR5/Limited will work and TRD/Trail won't.

They absolutely need an aftermarket shock. Doing springs only will nuke your factory shocks.

I'm late to the party but I have been running them for 10k miles now and very pleased. I have 2wd/3rd row model and the front was a little high. gained 2.5" in front after break-in and 1.5" in rear. later I added 1.5" daystar spacer on the rear and 2-3" fox 2.0. I will be adding the front Fox strut w/adjustable spring seat. The ride is stable and responsive but also forgiving when pushing it. It is comfortable to drive, not jarring like tundra springs on a 3rd gen.

Thinking about these springs with Bilstein 6112 & 5100 shocks.
Do you think you could have kept stock UCAs.
