4Unner suspensions-going DOWN not up!

Post by ZOOK92 »

Afternoon all,

I have a '92 4Runner, and i just wish to pose a few questions. It is lifted

2" with OME stuff. Now with all the driving i do, i realised i do a hell of a

lot more touring than rock hopping. I want to keep it the same height, but

I am looking to make the axles move a little more than it does. It is quite

rough off road, with bugger all movement in the front. I changed the back

shocks for

a 3" lifted set, and this has made it move more than enough. Nigh on


twice standard. Now question one. Can you get adjustable upper arms

that may come from another car, that i can use to swivel the diff back as

standard, and, given they are a little longer, more travel. I have found

them for every other car, but not mine.

Now question two. With the front wound 2", the torsions are really set

where they sit and dont move. I was thinking of winding them back 1",

and adding a BJ spacer. Will this give me more down travel of a standard

car, if i change the shocks to allow full movement? I notice my mates

Hilux ( standard height) has a hell of a lot more down movement than

mine, due to the slack torsions.

If i ever need to change tyres, I will put a body lift in. All i am looking for i

s making it as good a tourer as i can, with more suspension movement.

Thank you all for reading my novel.
