Awesome. Thanks! So that spring is screwed on to the top mount? I also noticed your spidertrax. What size tire and how much lift are you running? I'm thinking I'd want to keep the OEM tires and fit the biggest one I can put on there (285/70/17 from what I've read) and the lift I'm using will be the Donahoe's that will come from Tacoma plus new springs in the rear.

The rear shocks from the Tacoma will not bolt up, the lower mounting hole (eyelet, I think its called) on the 4Runners is bigger than those on the Tacoma. The front Coilovers, assuming that's what you have should bolt in the same.
The coil springs are not screwed in, you just lower the axle enough, pop out the old springs and throw in the new ones and raise the axle back up. The shocks upper mounts are the same as the Tacoma in the rear.
I had the spidertrax installed when I was running my old stock size Firestone Destination M/T. I just wanted a wider stance. I'm currently running a different setup. Keeping the stock wheels, yeah biggest you can go is the 285/70R17's.

Awesome. Yeah I called Icon and they said for the front CO's all I need is a new swaybar relocation adapter and I'm all set for that. As far as the rear shocks go, I figured not but haven't gotten around to calling some vendors. Would be nice if they would fit since I just bought those about 5k miles ago.
OK so no need for the wheel spacers to run 285s? I can't say I've run into threads about rubbing issues so I assume the wheel backspace is sufficient to not rub the A-arms.
