Help me ID this suspension set up

[Serge627]

Hey guys,

Recently picked up a 97 SR5, 5 spd. Love it so far and after putting new tires on, a new exhaust and tackling the timing belt yesterday, I am now on the road and having fun. BTW best thing about the TB job with a manual transmission truck was not having to mess with that special tool or homemade tool to take off and put the crank bolt back on!

Anyhow, I am trying to identify the springs/shocks that are on this 4Runner.
The lady I got it from bought it new, and her husband did things to it, but they are divorced now and she had no idea on details.

Rear are yellow performance products springs, I believe they are a 1" lift based on part number. They appear to have some old skyjacker white w/ red boot shocks.

Fronts are toyota springs, Driver Side : Blue/Blue
Passenger Side: Yellow/Blue
older looking Bilstein yellow w/ blue boot shocks

From what I found it appears that the yellow/blue would be a TRD Tundra spring which would be 2" of lift or so, if my research was correct. But the rear sits level or marginally higher, so this doesnt make much sense.

Any ideas and secondly I like the ride height, but think the shocks need changing and want to make sure I get the right ones for my size lift.

Thanks guys

:worthless



Also, some measurements from the center of the hub to the fender may help in identification too.

Its too dark out for pics now lol. I will grab some tomorrow along with some measurements

Ok so i took measurements up front. Hub center to fender are 22" on each side. I love how it sits, just curious on if it only has the rear 1" lift or if whatever springs are up front are lift or not. Like i said, they are obviously toyota springs, but the colors have me confused. Plus it having bilstein yellows up front make me think its something other than stock

Without being able to see the top of the coil (where it meets the hat) and seeing the measurements and color codes, I's say you have the TRD tundra coilovers. They must have changed the tophat to fit the 4Runner.

Here's my 1st runner and the measurements. Almost the same as yours except I had 890's in the back.

After looking over your thread, i think you may be right. My rear measurements, hub to fender are: 22 5/8" on both sides

Heres more pics from the LF side
