Thread: Tundra TRD Coil Springs to LIFT a 4Runner or Tacoma

  1. #71
    FWIW the Tundra 5100's are pretty long and way softer than my Tokico Trekmasters. I liked the stiffness of the Tokicos but the extra travel is nice. Seems like there is a lot of compromise in shocks for lifted and wheeled 3rd gens.

    I like the idea of coil overs but the routine maintenance, custom parts, down time, price, etc are a turn off.

    Plus, and this is just an east coaster, if you have them back east the winters are pretty harsh on those adjustable coilovers.

    Personally I am looking at doing the tundra lift with an ome rear once I am ready to lift. I kinda like having a DD that is easy to get in and out of.

    So curious, did is the isolator you need come from a tundra or a 4Runner?

    Just another .02 The tundra coils are awesome, unfortunately with my lack of a heavy duty bumper I was relying on the rear suspension to do all the work when I went offroad.

    I ended up eventually upgrading to AllPro upper uniball control arms and the AllPro Blistien Adjustible Coilovers as such "https://www.allprooffroad.com/9602frontsuspension/299"
    I originally had the 550lb springs on there which were incredible, I have never gotten such flex out of the front end, but unfortunetly they started to rust so I upgraded to the 650lb coils, at first I wasn't pleased with them but my last trip out I got to work them out and they are turning out to be a great spring weight.

    As far as the rear, I still have the LC coils but I miss my Tokico black shocks, they were awesome, I have a cheap set of shocks off rock auto that are 'ok' a little to stiff for my blood but they have a really great travel, still have yet to max them out extended from my last trip I could never lift tire and the only thing limiting my travel as of now is the shock.

    Keep a look on the for sell ads on the other forums, they pop up from time for time.

    The isolators I purchased are for a Tundra. I will see if they are compatible with my stock 4runner tops. The price was right and it was Amazon, so returns should be pretty easy.

    My lift ideas are always changing but then again so are my ideas for front and rear bumpers lol. I do know eventually I want to flat belly the 4runner.

    New shocks are on!

    I compressed the coils, removed the old shock, and knocked the long studs out of the top plate. I inserted the old stock ones, but they fit loose. I tacked them into place.

    Shot them with some quick drying black I had laying around:

    Here are the old and new isolators (I shouldn't have to tell you which is which):

    They are essentially identical.

    Fit is good. My tacks stuck up a little bit, but they are fine.

    No pictures of the actual shocks, I'll try to get those later.
