Moog Springs Review

[coinball]

I'm not sure if anyone else has used these springs all around before, so I wanted to give some feedback to the forum on them.

I used these Moog springs (81041 - $40.79 for the pair - and 81088 - $55.99 for the pair - from Rockauto) to replace my beat 2002 lowrider springs. The rear sag was to the point of being embarassing (like seeing an old Ford Explorer draging the rear hitch down the highway while you could fit a basketball between the front tire and the fender). I had put Tokico Trekmasters on the truck a couple months ago as the stockers were all beat after ~140k miles. The Tokicos paired with the Moog springs actually gives a pretty decent ride (significantly better than my beat/blown stock stuff).

Here are the fender measurements after a week on the road:

Ground-to-fender/Center-to-fender

FR - 34.75/21.25
FL - 34.75/21.25
RR - 34.25/20.50
RL - 34.75/20.75

I have crappy under-inflated tires on the truck and the driveway where I measured is not level by any stretch, so these numbers are probably skewed slightly.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Cliff's Notes: Good springs and cheaper new than buying used 99 highlander springs.

I bought some off amazon for $49 to replace the ones they put in for the recall. IF they even changed them? I don't know but it was so low in back after I put the quickstruts on the front that I was getting a lot of ceiling in the rear view mirror.

Lots of options available. I put the '99, 4wd, 16" wheel ones (+3") on my 2runner. 3 sand bags in back and it is a little less than level now. It has been a couple months. I wonder how they will hold up?
