Yup, original 200k+ mile front struts. Just got my 5100s in though so I'll be swapping those in this week

Did you use the factory springs in the front with the 5100? and what suspension are you running out back?
Prime.
New member
Yeah factory springs. 4th highest setting, probably gonna go back and move it up to the top one though. And rear is OME 891 springs and 5100s

I'll have to get a picture of the compressor. It's under the hood on the passenger side, just made a bracket that bolts in to a factory relay location. Tank is now under the sleeping platform towards the front. Can get to it by folding the backseat down.

Ahh Ok. yea i was thinking either under the hood or in the little empty cubby on the PS rear if the compressor will fit.
How did you run the leader hose from the compressor to the tank? that would be my biggest issue on my install if i dont mount the compressor in the rear close to the tank.

PTC fitting on the end of the leader line and then soft line along the frame to the back.

Found this build whilst refreshing my memory on the 5100/stock front spring setup.
I've been MIA for a year+, haven't had any money to work on the Runner...BUT: I'm selling my house and my wife agrees we NEED to work on the truck, due to suspension struggles pulling our little 3k lb. camper. Rear sag is bad.
I already have RC rear shocks for a little added length. If I hate them I can always go Bilstein later. At least it's not strut assys. Probably going to just get 5100's up front, run 5th perch, then 891s in the rear. I'm not armored, would like to be, but I don't really wheel outside of WMA and forest service roads (which are fun, but I'm not a hardcore wheeling enthusiast...just a hunter/fisherman who likes to go places a sedan can't!).
Oh, and I'm in Euharlee, between Cartersville and Rome. Trout fished up at Noontootla, Rock, and Cooper creek (Toccoa watershed) in the Mtns last year. Stamp Creek WMA has some fun little hills and trails that are open during hunting season, too.
Maybe I'll run into you one day. Cheers on the build. Keep it coming.

Nice wheels. Are yours the 4.5bs or 3.5? If they're 4.5, how bad is the frame rub?
