shocks and springs from a '99 v6 on a '90 4 cyl

[back in the ussr]

Ok just catching up with one of my old friends I hadnt seen in a long time tonight. Turns out he just got a '90 4 cyl, 5 spd. I went and saw it with him right after we're leaving. I noticed that his stock suspension had him riding noticeably lower than my '99 stock runner. I will most likely be getting a lift in the next month. Would it let him ride higher to give him my old shocks and springs and will they bolt on with no modification?

Look at his suspension and look at your's.

These are different generation 4runners, which have non-compatible parts.

Rear springs will not fit, and you're gonna have an even harder time making the front struts fit lol.

The second gens (87-95) do not have springs and shocks in the back, but leaf springs. No way that'll ever work.

The saggy butt syndrome of the old gen is hard to get rid of once it happens. You have to get one of those "add-a-leaf" deals which aren't cheap. The Pickups do not have such a bad time as the 4Runners though, or at least my Pickup didn't after 290k miles.

he can use landcruiser rear springs, and a ball joint spacer, or just crank the torsion bars for the front. apparently the back wheel well on 2nd gens was 2" lower than the front.

Actually the second gen 4runners have 5 links and coil springs in the back.

actually you can put the front coils from a 3rd gen in between the bump stops on the rear of a first gen, its called the zuk mod.

The front end on a 2nd gen doesn't have coil springs, it has torsion bars. You can get a little lift by cranking the torsion bars. I think I read the rear springs from an LC will fit in the rear of the 2nd gen, but our 3rd gen springs won't (at least not 'nicely'). Different setups completely.
