85 4runner suspension setups

[yotarunner85]

i have a 85 4runner and was wonder who has some sweet setups with some good flex or some advice on what to get, im looking to run 36's

Ruf and chevy 63s with give you pretty good flex while being on the low cost side.

Dont forget to re gear for the larger tires.

marlincrawler.com, Allpro, and trail-gear are all based on Alcan Springs which are sweet. I have them and they flex better than any leaf I've ever seen. Deaver spring also is really good. As stated there are ways to build hybrid's like the chevy 63" or the ford F150 56" springs. for cost verses what you get the trail-gear 3" lift springs with some longer shackles are hard to beat. the Key is to not skimp on shocks as you will regret having nice spring not nice shocks. Use 14in travels up front and then make sure you do crossover steering and you will love the way it will preform. Good luck

Weld in some Ford shock hoops up front so you can get longer shocks in there. Hysteer at some point especially with 36"s unless you're not really going to wheel it. Otherwise a spare J arm would be a handy part for the trail. They are cast iron and tough to weld back together in the dirt. Chevy springs in back and backs up front no?

How much you want to spend?
Can you weld, etc?
