FRUSTRATED! LC coil questions

[lhsoulrebel]

So I went to the local salvage, and poked around a couple of lc's they had. I've researched the sh@t out of the color codes, but it's not making sense to me. Before I spent the time to pull and install these, I'd like to know what I am getting. Can anyone please tell me which coils these are (they are all front LC coils)? Thanks so much in advance!

Count the wraps. The first pics I see 9 wraps, along with the blue pink white color code. These came out of 90-91 LC's and I see "90" written on the truck. The last pic you posted shows 8 wraps, with an 8 wrap color code.

THanks down pour. I was getting frustrated as the codes didnt seem to match what were in the lc coil threads. So the 9 wraps will give the most lift I take it... is this true for all the FJ80 year ranges? I guess the other coils are from a 93, just saw that in the pics above... When I install them, the LC drivers side should go on the 4runner drivers side correct?? The LC's have the gas tank on the same side we do? I may have to read through some more threads to figure out which ones i want.,

Just measure which one is taller and put it on the drivers side. 9 wraps will give the most lift and were only on the 90-91 LC's.

So, would 9 wraps be over kill if I have the toytec coils overs up front?

is that your 4runner in the background in the 3rd pic?? it's pretty sweet lookin'

 

[lhsoulrebel]

It is, thanks... Needs a bath!

if i was you id get both sets... 9 wraps are fairly hard to come by, and you might actually find that you want those with that rear bumper you have, as its added weight and that will affect how much lift you will get. i have 8 wraps right now but with my rear bumper the weight is taxing on the 8 wraps and it feels like grandpas cadilac... i wish i still had my 9wraps cause id toss those in toe see if that made things better. who knows you may find that the 9 wraps will still be too much and you want the 8 wraps... either way you should not have any trouble selling the extra set of coils. i have been able to sell all of my LC coil sets for around $100 a set. fyi the rear coils in the LCs will work as lift coils in the rear on 2nd gen runners... so you could get those too and sell those for $100 a set and probably end up getting your coils for free and maybe making some money on the deal as well.

Hmmm, definitely food for thought. I think I'm leaning towards pulling both sets, and seeing which ones I prefer. I have the 890's in there now, and actually really like them. I'm just looking for a bit more rear lift and flex. I'm thinking of getting 255's in the fall and wanted similar fender/ tire clearance, and room to stuff them.
