LC coil clairification

[Forrrrest]

So I'm looking into my lift set up, I'm pretty much dead set on tundra/lc lift seeing as I can get extremely good prices on brand new yota parts and bilsteins. I've got the front covered for what I want now I'm trying to figure out the rear lift. You guys are running the front coils off of land cruisers correct? When pulling up diagrams and part numbers the 80 series it gives me a few options. I.e. third row seating versus non third row and also year makes a difference. I'm looking for the 8 wrap which yields about 3.5 inches. Other then a color code does any one have some good part numbers for me?

Yet again, why do people keep thinking 8 wraps give 3.5"??? They give 4 AT LEAST.

You want 7 wraps if you can find them.

Then about 80% of the threads I have read have been mistaken. I can order almost any parts from my work. I just can't differ one from another, they don't give coil length or color codes in the diagrams through the snap on program we use. My boss isn't to keen on me ordering a bunch of coils just to look at.

Seen this one?

I had the 19.25" 8 wraps and got a solid 4".

I had 7 wraps off a 94. One of the coils was almost an 8 but closer to 7.75.

So I was looking into it a little more and looked up a few different years for the land cruiser. And this is what I have found.


91 LC
48131-60230 front right
48131-60260 front right with aluminum wheels
48131-60810 front left
48131-60820 front left with aluminum wheels

94 LC
48131-6A570 front right
48131-6A480 front left
Now this year had a few different part numbers bit the all superceeded to what i have listed above

97 LC
Identical to 94

So now we should look into matching the color codes or wrap count with the part number. I'm still trying to clarify which wrap count is what part number. I'm pretty sure later models are the 7 wraps, 8 wraps are earlier model with aluminum wheels, and so on. Anybody have some knowledge or input to go with these?

I don't have anything to add in regards to the part number dilema but these guys seem to have different sizes of used LC coils in stock CruiserParts.net Landcruiser Parts $45.00 each and they gave me the option of different wrap sizes.

Yea I just installed some lx450 coils that are 8.75/8.25 wrap. Right now I don't have a accurate measurement of lift but it'd around 5". Hoping they settle a lot.

I have LC 7.5 wraps and got about 4" out of them. They're actually for sale. Along with a set of Toyota OEM LC shocks. 1500 miles on them.

At least!!! My 7.5 wraps gave me around 4.5" of lift. Granted that was with no weight in the back.
