Do I Have a Small Lift...

[ki_soarer]

those springs look different than my 05 springs, but i dont have the xreas, so i could be wrong.

Springs look non-stock to me...

Maybe OME or Tundra springs? I don't think that the FJ springs would make it look that lifted.

Nice looking 4Runner!

FJ springs has a lot less coils.. so cant be it...

How about the measurements? Can anyone tell me what they are on an '05 off the showroom floor?

 

[chaz]

taking different years into consideration, stock should be roughly - frt about 34, rear about 36,u did say right now u have 37 frt, 38 rear? possibly a 3/2 lift? is it possible the previous owner used springs on the xreas to lift istead of spacers with no leaking? check the top of the coils for spacers.

there is a tag on your spring. Can you get to that and tell us what that says? that my be our answer

I thought for sure there would be lift spacers in there based on the stance. How interesting

 

[T4RJon_SR5]

Tricky. I wonder how it rides.

 

[ki_soarer]

I measured my 05 a few weeks ago before installing my daystar spacers and from the shop floor to the fender was 32.75 inches front and 35.5 inches rear.

hope that helps. im positive that its lifter, just not sure what springs those are. looks great though!

How many wraps are on the coils? My OEM and FJ have a total of 8 wraps, best I can see yours has 9-10. Here's a pic of my stock spring and FJ spring (front), compare to what you have.

Taco springs in the front, FJ springs in the back? That's my guess...

Thanks again, lots of good info and things for me to check. Unfortunately today's been a real long day and I haven't had a chance to look yet.

Bingo A10MileHusker! Good eye! The front are OME884's, the rear aren't tagged but are much larger diameter and fewer wraps, looks like 8. I'll do some checking but guess the rears are also OME. A quick check of retailers should show me what they pair the 884's with.

I took a quick look and haven't come to a conclusion on the rear. The 884 is recommended by ARB though apparently some people suggest 885's for v8's. I can only say the ride is very nice and not being familiar with 4th gens I guess this is one reason I liked this particular one.

i was under the impression that when someone had xreas, they were told the only way it could be lifted was with spacers, since lift springs would cause it to not function correctly & lead to leaks. maybe thats not true afterall.

 

[Front Range 4x4]

I have no idea, any source of this info?

 

[chaz]

im of the belief that longer shocks should be used with longer springs, thats easy with reg, shocks, but cant be done with xreas, thats one reason spacers are used, otherwise too much stress on the xreas. theres numerous threads on it, but heres one for now.

Thanks Chaz, looks like I have some reading to do...
