coil conversion for ifs 4runner

[psychorepeat]

Anyone know of any coil conversion kits available for ifs 4runner?

ive seen on locktup.com they have a leaf conversion kit but i would rather coil as its coil rear..

thanks

I have not seen a coil kit like the ones Locktup do for leaves.

If you want coils your going to have to get custom made mounts to suit your rig at a minimum.
I used Bundera front end tho can also use a 78/79 series cruiser which would be a bit stronger.

oh arite then.

well would you mind posting some pics so i can get an idea of what ill need to do..

thanks

You need to know that a 3 link is more difficult than leaves to setup well.
The geometry for both steering and suspension needs to be done right or it will forever be a pig to drive, especially on road.

For this reason, if you don't have any experience doing it your self, I strongly suggest you find someone who has done this sort of setup more than once before.

Do a lot of reading to find out what is going to suit the wheeling you want to do and fit your budget. Your looking at spending about 3-5k depending on how much you can do yourself.
You will need a complete front diff, and depending on which diff your using will depend on what else you will need to get/have it suit your rig.

There are several full IFS coil over suspension kits available from the US but currently they increase your front track.

I have seen this US kit installed on a local Hilux truck

That's good looking gear but 6.5" extra width, what diff could you put out back to match it?

He fitted a Ford 9" .

With proper moulded extended guards it didn't look out of place at all and remember the full track width is only evident when the suspension is at perfect parallel compression so on the road etc it's not that evident.

This is a pic I took before the coilover was fitted .
