I'm about to purchase a 1995 4runner and it has the typical rear sag (for which I'm getting a discount). I'm going to go ahead and put some new coils on it, but I had some questions for some of you more knowledgable people.
The setup I am planning to run is some 2" Downey coils in the rear, crank the front torsion bars and replace all 4 shocks with Bilsteins. What do people think? Any other suggestions? I'm also wondering the pros and cons of the Downey Heavy Duty vs. the regular. I don't get to do as much 'wheeling as I used to (had to move from the mountains to the City), so I'm not sure I need the heavy duty coils if it significantly compromises the ride. However, I want to make sure that the regular coils would give it the same lift.
The second question is regarding the lift. I need to replace the rear springs anyway, but will this help to give the 4runner about 2" of lift? I don't want to do a whole pro-comp kit or anything, but I like the look of it sitting up a little higher and was hoping I could get the lift w/ some springs and torsion bar adjustment.
Finally, how easy is this to do. I'm fairly competent w/ cars and used to do a lot of work on my 1990 Toyota 4X4 (before the engine died at 250K). But I don't want to f*** anything up either and I've never had to replace springs, crank torsion bars, replace the brake line, etc. Anyway, sorry for the long post and thanks for any responses.
