rear leaf springs......

[rustbucket]

Same as relative years pickup's? Also is the frame the same?

I could be wrong but I believe that the 4runner would have a heavier rate spring since the 4runners are heavier. As for the frame... can't tell ya.

They dont have a heavier rate...thats why they are all sagging. 1st gen springs are the same as 84-88 pickup springs, 48". In 89 (3rd gen for pickups) they switched to a 51" (maybe 52") spring.

As for the frames, I believe that besides the body mounts and gas tank mounts they should be the same. 86-88

Yup they're the same. Hence the SAGG. I've heard the only differences are the seats in the back, roll bar, and a few minor things. But that's why they sagg

 

[SV_Dude]

I stand corrected. You would think that toyota would put a beefier spring in the rear end to support the higher weight. Guess not...

Like the 200lb fiberglass top? Haha.

They weren't a big deal when they came out...but after 20 years, any spring is going to be weak..

The 1st gen 4runners use the same frame as the standard cab/short bed truck. Some of the rear body mounts are different of course.
Springs are similar, but 4runner is a bit softer, pickup is meant to carry weight.

So that would make pickup leafs a upgrade rght? My leaf springs are bowed the opposite way some how(curve up not down) and re bowing them or new ones localy are almost double what i paid for the truck.

and these springs i can get cheap. I dont know the year of the pickup though if that matters.... I'm guessing between 1988and 1992.

It will defiantly matter. But you could always just make a basterd pack....

No. Pickup is leaf sprung and the 4runner is coils.

94 4runner doesnt use a leaf spring in the rear.
