trouble replacing springs...please help

[jarnld]

So Im trying to replace my stock springs with some Moogs just to get rid of the sagging rear. Im not expecting any lift.

I just jacked up my runner and tried to pull out the springs and cant get them out. Is there some trick to this or is my jack just not lifting the truck high enough??

nevermind, found my answer over at yotatech. Thanks!

One problem I ran into was reattaching the lateral control rod. It took a while but I finally got it seated.

FYI: I had planned on replacing the rear shocks anyway and while attempting to remove them I completely snapped off the top bolts for each shock.

I replaced the springs with MOOG as recommended by an online store. I wish they had just a little more lift. Here's an after picture.

It sits alot better than mine. It will def look better.

Ugh... You know this thread is almost 5 years old right? The OP probably did a lift kit, head gaskets and then sold the vehicle by now.

You should be able to get the Moog springs from most auto parts outlets.
I believe the p/n for a 2nd gen runner rear coils is CC255, but don't quote me on that.
