**Rear Coil Spring Discussion - The Perfect 3rd Gen Rear Spring**

LC80 Front coils:


48131-6A480 - FH 19.25" (White / Orange / Green)
48131-6A570 - FH 18.75" (Double Purple / Gray / White)




I have used LC ~150k.
One is 8 wraps, white, dark blue, double purple. Free standing it’s 483mm.
Other is just over 7.5 wraps, white, light blue, double purple. Free standing it’s 473mm.
 
So I finally replaced my rear coils that they previous owner setup. I replaced the OME 891 coils with 2" lift spacers with the ToyTec "SuperLift" coils they sell today. Not sure if they are the same as the original superlifts but they are a HUGE ride improvement.

After Kings and now the coils I really hope to be done messing with the suspension for a while. But damn it rides nice now.

The King OEM upgrade with extra travel on the 600 lb springs. My wife and I spent all day yesterday driving around on various roads and I wish I had done this sooner. I am traveling for work this week but hope to get on the trails in a few weeks to check out the travel on the shocks soon.

Anybody know how much extra weight the OME 890s are rated for? Just curious, since I can't find much beyond just listing them as "medium duty"

The 890 has a spring rate of 190 pounds, compared to the 891 rate of 210 pounds. Those are the 3” coils. The 2906 are 220 but only a 2 inch lift.
 
Just Picked up some 891s for my settup, planning to lift next week. Have a hunch its gonna be pretty rough a lot of the time, but seems like the 891s are just a stellar choice from everything I've read.

Awesome, thank you. I won't be running any serious extra weight in the rear for quite some time, so I don't need the heavy coils - but I would like to stiffen the ride some. I've heard great things about the 890s, just never got a spring rate
Seems to be lots of debate around OME coils, I'm learning :snacker:
 
Here's what the 210v's look like with no weight. Got some rake but will be adding quite a bit of weight in the future so I figured i'd just get them now so I don't have to change them out later.

What's your hub to fender measurement in the rear? How much additional weight do you currently have in the rear?

On the drivers side I measured about 25.5" and the passenger about 26.5". I have zero weight in the rear right now in this picture. Even my hitch is off and have a empty tank of gas. Need to load it up with some everyday carry gear and i'll also have a roof rack and rooftop tent on it soon. So all of that should add around 200lbs. Then i'll be getting a rear bumper with tire carrier sometime in the future.

Thanks for the measurements! That's a substantial difference between driver and passenger. I'm assuming you installed them according to the picture which was for a right hand drive which should have the same drivetrain/fuel tank configuration as a left hand drive. Have you considered swapping coil sides to see if it makes a difference?

Yea I put the taller spring that was labeled left on the drivers side so idk why it's lower. I'll measure it again after I drive around for a while and see if it changes.

:confused: I've never seen that plastic trim on and along the bottom on the doors. Is that a JDM thing? It really adds to the look

You’ve never seen a “limited” package 3rd gen 4runner???

Must be not many 3rd gens around your AO. Where I live you could hardly throw a rock without hitting one.
 
I got the Moog 81041 rear coils in the rear, not sure how i feel about them yet. 500 miles on em so far and i swear my passenger side sits higher...

No no, it's like that way across all of WA - truly a sight to behold :laugh:
Just the chances of seeing on stock is very slim - sometimes it hard to find one on OEM susp./ride height! And given my running boards sold for $250 it seems like OEM stuff is few-and-far in between

Because it does. Look up Toyota's "left lean" - huge problem with Toyota and these vehicles were some of the most prominent. There are a few ways to fix it, such as trim packers. Its such a problem many lift kits will level it for you with the coils themselves, or offer packers/spacers in the package (only gets worse as you get higher).
BTW I've been using those coils for the past few months/~1000mi (along with the Moog front pair). They're a little softer than OEM, but they'll do. Didn't settle much, and still sits level - just a lil squishy as times.
