just picked up new lights from my buddy that imports them from china. gonna throw them on the cbi ditch mounts and throw the cheapo hids on the bumper for now. the leds will be angled out to each side a bit to give me some good corner lighting.

Hey guys. Question for anyone who cares. I'm getting the toytec lift kit for my 3rd gen and was wondering what rear cool I should go with. What will keep it level and provide enough support for a plate bumper?

ether OME 891's or toytechs superflex coils, if your not on a budget the sonaron steel 1.2 kit comes with lc coils.

The superflex coils say they're 3.75". Will that lift the rear higher than the front?

Yes. I personally love my Superflex coils. I have about a 1/2 inch rake with my front Toytec coilovers

oh, 1/2" isn't that bad. I was thinking it'd be all stinkbugged. And that's 1/2" rake with a plate bumper on the rear or just the stock bumper?

Just a stock bumper with no weight.

I have a rake on mine it's about 1 inch, but I have not adjusted my toytech c/o so there at the setting toytech put on. I'm waiting to see if my new rear bump will do anything to the rake before I adjust my c/o.

I haven't adjusted mine either.

Just go bro with it and do a front lift. I think mine actually sits lower in the rear by about a 1/2"-1". I just can't lower front coils any further.

awesome, thanks for the info guys! Just what I was looking for.

my 891s are starting to sag real bad from the weight ive put back there. thats lots of gear and a dirtbike hanging off the hitch. so im thinking about the 861s. that will give some rake unloaded. haha they give 4-5 inches of lift unloaded.

 

[Kraze]

This blow's I didn't gain any lift goon from 890's to super flex coils. On the other hand my armor will be ready on Monday
.

You want to trade the superflex for my 8 wraps? :nod:

My 8 wraps will give you the lift you're looking for!

In other news, look what I scored off Craigslist:



I just need to stock up on CVs now and I'll be ready for that front locker. :bravo:

And here's a picture of the current condition of my 4runner:



That dirt has been there for close to a week now. Does that bother you [MENTION=75445]4Running Daily[/MENTION]? :reddance:

 

[4Running Daily]

Shane I will come to your house and spray tire shine on it causing the entire thing to burst into flames

I thought the 891s were the stiffer of the two? I have the stiffer ones which ever that is on mine.

Junk yards. I got 4 for about $25 a pop.

And here's a picture of the current condition of my 4runner:

That spare looks a little bald.

 

[4x4runner2002]

The 861s are the ome land cruiser front coils for like 1" of lift. So they give us much more.
[MENTION=82691]Broker[/MENTION] I think all your tires look like his spare the last time I checked. Haha.

I'll take you up on that, but I need more wheeling time with the superflexs.

That will solve his spider dilemma.

 

[4Running Daily]

Just got back from Deer Springs. Tuned my CB. It was pretty close anyways.

 

[Broker]

Correction, I have 891 coils. And his spare probably has about double what any of mine have on them. Hoping to get newused ones here some time, just have t seen any good deals for some yet.
