FJ springs go on 84'Runner??

Spud · 04-23-07, 08:51 AM

I have an 84' 4runner that the leaf springs are completely flat. I am sure they were original and in the last 2/3years I have had it, I hauled a lot of weight up and on to the top of a hill where I built a cabin.

I recently got a 77' FJ40 with HSF spring set up. The PO gave me the stock LC springs along with lots of other parts.

Can I put the LC springs on the 4Runner? Has anyone done this swap? Am I wasting my time and effort putting on used springs?

The LC springs, (uninstalled), look like they have a good bend left to them. Any input on this is appreciated.

Thanks all.

you can make anything work, but it would be a lot of fabrication for a stiff ride imo.
