Is any one running these rear coils on a 4th gen with no weight or less than a 100lbs?
I'm really looking for coils that will give me 3 inches of lift in the rear. Some times I have no weight at all in back. I also looked at the Icon overland rears
Any opinions ? Pics of y'all's would definitely help!

I'm running these with no weight. I got 2.5-3 inches of lift from it. I'll have to find the paper I wrote on to find the exact amount

I've read they run really stiff when not loaded. 40% stiffer than stock. I opted for the Toytec RCC2.0HD which gaine a little over 2 1/2 and is only 25% stiffer than stock. I'm loving the ride.

Do you have any pictures? That's pretty much what I'm looking for. But I like that Icon have a lifetime guarantee of never sagging

I really want rake even about and inch higher in the back. Cause I will tow every now and then. I can't anymore because my tires for the fender from the coils being so worn.
So you have any pics of yours?

I have the Overlands. Before I did a rear bumper, I would give an estimate guess of
3-3.5" lift, and a little rigid. After bumper, brought her down to a moderate 3".

I also have the 885 on the front, so I would say a 3/3 lift, stock looking rake to mine.

How do they do off road and flexing wise

I never lost any flex with these. Change from stock coils and 2.5" spacers.

They still can stuff in the wheel wells. If you don't have any weight, will have rigid like a empty 1/2 to 3/4 ton truck bed empty.

edit... I'm also undercarriage armored out, so I have some weight. Roof rack also.
2nd edit.... Do know also, some rear springs are designed with left n right for driver lean. these ones DON'T. I have a driver spacer for that also.

 

[tc05runner]

That's good to hear. I plan on getting a rack next week and doing skids.
Where and what kind of spacer is it? I forgot to mention that but I hate the lean. I have it on my Tacoma to and it drives me nuts

Most on here buy the Daystar 1.5 spacer lift for the rear, and use 1 on driver side only.
I just cut down one of my Revtek spacers for this.

Take a look at my build page if you want to see more pictures as there are more pictures there. My frame is level, but my wheel wheels are not. I chose this lift Combo (OME 895/Toytec rcc2.0hd) for the reason you mentioned.

There might be some better pics in my Moab trip album, http://www.toyota-4runner.org/members/powder_hound-albums-moab+april+2016.html , and this has images with my PUP connected too.

Wow that big of a spacer? That's what I'm using a lift on stock coils right now lol
But I could just shave of some of the bottom of it right

Wow is about right, our coil suspension sits close to center on axle, so does make a difference in balance.

What spacer are you using, Daystar or Revtek?

Thanks Neil for that huge piece of information on your build. I like exactly how you have it setup. Especially the air bags, I don't necessarily need them but I want them just in case. From the pictures or looks like yours is perfectly level. Do those toytec coils have a left and a right side to compensate for the drive side lean

I have the daystar.

This is how she sits right now. It doesn't look so bad but the street I'm on is at a decline to.
It leans alot especially when under acceleration. Its annoying felling the rear end dip so much taking off from a stop.

Ok, if you change to a NON left/right coil like I have, just need Daystar on driver coil only. No cutting required.

Revtek spacer was a 2.5" spacer lift, I cut it to compensate driver lean with stock springs and front lift.

Stock coils are going to give you that dip feel when taking off. Soft coils. I still get a little with these springs, but, have a lot of extra weight that I have added due to aftermarket ad ons. My horse trailer and horse in it, levels my ride, but doesn't bounce around when driving. 4k +/- lbs.

Ok, that makes more sense now. Wow it sits level with that much weight behind it ? With no air bags ?
I was really leaning towards the Icon coils, but I like the OME price. I would really like to do away with the spacer completely but if I have to put it in then I will. I couldn't find anywhere that the OME had left and right coils

Not sure if they do, doubt it. I think the Toytec are. Your best bet is to not make a quick decision just off of this post in general. Take these suggestions from you asking and research on each coils. See what each person posting has for there ride in comparisons to what you have or going to have. I do a lot of googling on items before I decide, maybe weeks of it to find what I really would want. Still might not be the right choice, LOL. Trial and error.

Mine are a dual rate coil as the OME is single rate. I think if I probable would have done a custom dual rate spring rate coil of 240/300 for mine for what I have now knowing what these feel like. Just like my fronts, 885 w/ weight and v-6. Would probably be happier with the 886's. I still have a little more bounce in the front than I like to have. Too much weight.

Just a little advice.

I've been doing.that for two weeks already and I finally made anthrrad on it lol took me long enough. I will do that for sure. So the Icons are dual rate coils?

I'm not even messing with the front yet, I have the V8 so its some Extra Weight. I don't plan on a front bumper but I might just get one out of impulse. I don't wanna spend over a thousand on just that.
Right now I have the FJ trail team coils and bilstiens with the daystar and it came up about another half inch from with just the daystar kit on the xreas. So its ok for now. I was planning on OME all around hut then I decided to focus on the tear to get what I really want and then ill worry about the front later.

So you been searching for 2weeks and didn't realize there dual rate, LOL.

I wasn't suggesting as doing the front yet, just a example of research and trail n error to what each change you will be doing in time. Each change may take a different effect on a different area your working at. Changing your rear may take an adverse action to the front as you doing it.

Again, just saying.
