There are many options, it really depends on how much work you are willing to do and the price you want to pay. You can get an add a leaf, which is the cheapest route and probably the most work. You can replace the whole spring pack, which is about the most expensive route, and is only a little...

I did the Zuk mod with 14" 125# springs which gave me a 3.5" lift in rear, and with balljoint spacers up front there are no rubs or problems with 33x12.50x15 BFG AT tires. Before balljoint spacers they rubbed a little on the fenders, but a little bit of hammering and no more problem.

I've killed 2 of them now, both from water crossings. Bad design? I have treaded water in multiple other vehicles, never had any issues. Time for the GM alternator mod i guess.

hey Scotty, I'm on front range 4x4, you can find me there under the same screen name as here. are you interested in getting rid of the rack that came on that truck when you bought it? I would like to take it off your hands. Thanks Thomas

I sprayed PB blaster up inside mine from both ends and pumped the pedal a whole bunch, now it is nice and feels like a proper Japanese 4 banger. :)

Thanks, all I needed to know.

Can anyone answer my question? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, do I need to remove the crank pulley and all that down there? That is what I was hoping to avoid.

It is an 86 22RE Who decided putting two generations of 4runners in the same forum was a good idea anyway...

Is it possible to replace them without having to remove EVERYTHING? The tensioners are making noise, the engine is new so I know it has a new timing chain, oil pump, etc.. but they used the old tensioners for whatever reason. Has that weird rattle sound coming from the front of the engine at...

Thanks guys. My 86 seems to do about 19-20mpg on 30" tires... just wanted to see how far I can stretch that low fuel light.

Sorry, it is an 86.

When it comes on, how much gas do I have left? No user manual to check. Thanks. :)

50 bucks from the parts store, you're probably right. I am just a brokeass!
