poly performance rear coilover bracket into 3rd gen T4R

[jrock]

quick link to the instructions: http://www.polyperformance.com/instr...s/PPM-5001.pdf

Any thoughts on incorporating this into a 3rd Gen 4rnr? Big chunk aye? I would probably have to extend all the links...move gas tank?

Im still leaning towards Chaplains design, but he sent me this to ponder.

Updated bad url...

It's definitely possible but then you'd run into problems of the coilover or shock in your case rubbing against the tire. Your original shocks are inboard so unless you're performing some major transformation it might be a bit much?

What's your ultimate goal or purpose? Care to share so we have a better understanding as to what you're trying to accomplish?

Again, im leaning towards Chaplains build.

Extending rear travel without going thru the bed, so that the rear can hang with the LT front. Living in SoCal, offroad use is more ocotillo desert washes, fire roads, barstow whoops, less extreme 4x4 trails...as opposed to major rock crawling. Otherwise Id go for a setup like bruceTS.

Chaplain has stated if hed do it over again, hed make room for coilovers...2.0, as they are easier to tune. His setup with 2.0 bypass may work.

Not sure the extra travel bruce gets as compared to chaplains is worth all the work.

making room for 12-14" dual rate coilover w/o cutting into bed is the dream. Just have to fig if a 2.0 would rub with spacer and if links would still work, stock gas tank etc.

The easiest way to test the links are by removing the shocks and coils and see what the droop looks like. Measure the distance between the lower shock mount and your proposed upper shock mount to determine what size shock will fit.

Work backwards on your evolution of the rear. For the amount of work you're putting in I recommend that you just do a custom 4 link rear setup I did it on my 4th gen and so far I've pretty happy w/ the overall results. I'm still years from figuring out the right combo of valving and coil spring rates but I'll figure it out one day.

I think you'll be much happier if you do something extreme to keep up with the front LT. No way in hell are you going to able to keep up w/ the front w/o significant work on the rear.

Good luck

Here's some pix of the build:

Here's the exact same build w/o all of the thread chatter:

Some changes... The original lower links were not up to snuff so they're thicker. It all comes at a cost though but it works for now. The setup I have on the links took me a long time to commit to. I had the math all figured out but just couldn't commit myself to cutting it all up until all hell broke loose on the front end. Guess it was bound to happen lol

I'd find more pix but I don't have a lot of action shots. Been a slow build since it's an expensive build. Wish I had unlimited funds and time to just sit in the garage to work on it.

I'd much rather try to squeeze a bypass shock in there and still run coils in their factory spots. After riding in Joels 4rnr a bunch of times I think its the way to go.

Lance, did you ever post your 4-link calc numbers for your rear setup? If so can you point me in the right direction?

Got a link to "joel" s 4runner

goodtimes, not sure your "read me" links are working?

may just be my work computer

Joel's build is over on another site. http://toyota120.com/forum/showpost....4&postcount=52

linked fixed... I'll find the numbers and also try to reference the 4link calc for ya

thanks!
