It's got a slight rake. No spacers. I'll probably stick with the 285/70's, I think if I really flexed out a 35 it would rub and hinder my truck's off-road ability. I'd rather have an extra inch of flex over an inch of ground clearance, yanno?
 
Wow looking like not many people are running 9 wraps on here.... LINY- looks like you are the leader of the 9 wrap club... I figured millerpka would be posting on this BUT I read he is selling his truck. Shame. Well, I'll be in the 9 wrap club in a couple weeks I'll start a build thread you'll see it when it happens.
 
It seems rare to find a set of 9 wrap coils. I've always been searching and can never find them. Where do you guys find a set of 9 wrap coils?
 
i have a set. im not sure yet if im gonna use them or not, im thinking of using them with a custom rear bumper and winch so they will set level with the toytec kit, but yest still be super flexy. they come from lexus LX 450s so keep an eye out for those.
 
Those running 9 wraps did you have to extend the rear center brake line? I just put 8.25 and 8.75 wraps from a Lexus and it looks like a would need to extend the brake line. But for now I just bent the tab facing perpendicular to the frame which gave me at least half an inch of slack.
 
if you run the 9 wraps with no added weight in the back and get the full 5+" of lift then yes you will need to extend the brake lines, but if you are gonna run a load in them you should be fine. but if you ask me with anything over a 2" lift ill be extending my brake lines just for peace of mind -their new and longer

At first it looked like the extension would be needed but now I have no issues once everything settled

Yeah I'm gonna be running an Outdoorlogic rear bumper with a tire swing out n jerry can. Still don't think I will lose much lift with it on but I think I'm gonna add another brake line to extend the exsisting one. With the 4runner on the lift and the rear suspension at full droop the rear brake line was pretty taut. And that was with the sway bar connected.

I just took my 9.25 LC coils off the back. Without adjustable LCA, I think its a mistake to go that tall back there.

I had the 21" Blue Pink White 9.25 wrap and the 21" Grey Orange White 9.25 wrap on there from the PO.

The rear end was shifted around to the left and was out of control.

You would want adjustable LCAs to allow the needed adjustment to not crab down the road. You would of course also need the adjustable pan hard bar and if you run anti-sway stuff, you would wanted extended links.

I went back with the OME 3".

Just looking at the shock height, alone, the LC coils are about 4" taller. The OME are a little more stout, but I had 6"+ of lift on the back end and now down to a more comfortable 3".

You will need a 18-20" rear brake line for the LC 9.25 coil wraps. You can go ~16" for the OME.

BTW - I have a set of 9.25 wrap LC coils for sale now :) They have ~20K miles on them.
 
I just picked up a set from THe kid.. Can't wait to get them on the rig. My 891's aren't cutting it anymore with all the weight I have in the rear.

But I am wondering how I am going to get these under the rig... Anything special you have to do in order to install these monster springs? Unbolt the panhard? Sway bar links? brake line?

Rent a spring compressor. You can remove the old springs, and install the new springs without unbolting anything. Just make sure to support the rear part of the frame with jackstands before you compress the springs for removal.

Advance Auto Parts has the spring compressor, it will set you back 55 bucks but you will get that back as long as you return it intact in less than 45 days.
