Front spring comparison taco to 4Runner

[arjan]

When I got my 4Runner, it came with the lowrider package. It's a base SR5 with manual windows etc.
When I had the spring recall done, the dealer gave me the option of limited springs, which I choose.
I left with a fair amount of rake and picked up some tacoma struts from the junkyard. Recently I upgraded to OME (same setup as Jamie) and took all the springs out.
Attached is a pic of the different springs, quite interesting how different the number of wraps is imo.
I somebody cares for them, you can have them for the cost of shipping. Keep in mind they are in the Great White North.

Are the Taco springs in the middle?

[arjan]

Yep, that's what they told me when I bought them. Makes sense, tacos seem to ride a bit higher. My 4Runner was very low when I got it.

So how are you liking your new setup?

[arjan]

I like it, rides good, new shocks are nice.
After I installed it, it still had some rake. Then I saw a pic of your front setup close up and notice I had the cup which the spring sits in upside down.
I don't know what I was thinking, but couldn't stand it. At 10pm I ripped the springs out and fixed it. Was done by 12 midnight :). I drove like that for over a month!!
Now it sits level, on semi gloss black powdercoated landcruiser wheels. It stands out, thats for sure.

Looks great!

I don't blame you for fixing the spring ASAP, that would have bothered me no end too until I fixed it too.
