Reseting rear springs on 98 sr5 for lift? posible?

Post by hal123 »

Hi all i have been speaking to a mechanic down the road and he said that he could get about 2" out of the stock rear leafs to raise. It will cost 260. Is this a bad idea? some advice would be great
cheers

hay mate itsa good idea every one dose it any pedders can do it for you just watch your shackel angle the more you reset them the shorter they get the less angle the worse, that would problely be why he only said 2 inches

NO! for $300 you can buy a set of iron man 2"lift leaf springs. $260 to reset your stock springs is rediculous, i can get it done for $150 at my local tyre power shop so old mate is ripping you off...
resetting your stock springs will work but they will slowly sag.
