4runner coiled rear flex?

[justinshere]

Hey

Picked up a coiled rear diff from a 4runner.
Wanting to see if anyone has pics of the std rear flexing?
Tossing up just putting it in a lux as is for the moment n driving it for a while or putting long arms in.

Cheers Justin

Few pics of my old one in this thread. Rear used to flex really well.

I put 80 series lower arms in mine, about 200mm longer and this increased the flex dramatically.

But the standard 4 Runner 5 link flexs very well straight out of the box anyway.

Thanks mate. Sounds like I might try that straight off the bat

Got pics of it by any chance?

Here's about the right page on the build for you.

Std set up with 80 coils on 33's

Did someone say "rear steer" ?

80 lower arms would be the go

That's not to bad, should keep me happy for a while.
Think I will use longer lowers though. I won't have to worry about the coils limiting travel cos ill be using coilovers it'll just be limited by joints and/or arms binding.

I did the conversion on my lux, i dont have as much flex as the above pic but thats because i have it limited by the shocks... can get more but it is more then enough for what i have driven... And as said 80 arms would be to go but i used all factory stuff just for ease of getting it engineered..

Just a tip but, use a sway bar (with disconnects) as it will handle on road heaps better..

These are heavy coils...

There was a thread or 6 not too long ago on this IIRC, I posted some pics in there. Just with longer shocks the 4runner rear will drop a 33" tyre well below the level of the sill, plenty of flex.



I have a coil runner housing, drum to drum (no center but has axleS) but no arms if anyone is after one. Also got a 4.88:1 V6 LSD center that will fit nice

I've noticed some guys running 80 series lower control arms with the 80 series spring lift and standard uppers. Does running longer lower control arms change rear axle/cv angles at all? 200mm's longer sounds like alot compared to standard.

Do the 80 series arms bolt straight in?

[Mr DJ]

Will have to re-mount the chassis end lower link mount to keep the wheel centred to the wheel arch.
Will also have a lot more movement in the pinion angle during flex due to the greater difference control arm length.
