98 4Runner front Coil options (1 Viewer)

[arnott1t]

Hello All, New to this section. I recently bought a 98 4Runner to daily drive so my Diesel Cruiser gets a break..especially in the cold weather. I had initially planned on leaving it stock but after driving it more I really like it and would like to start with mods. I'm a handy guy and will be fabricating as much as possible on my own unless the bolt on stuff is worth every penny.

Plans are for a ARB style front bumper with winch and a rear with dual swing outs for a spare and fuel. Also be throwing sliders on as well.
Aussie rear locker should be arriving this week.

I have a set of 285, 75, 16s that I'd like to fit on the truck. I've spoken with another cruiser head that has coils from a 97 cruiser for me that I'll install with longer rear shocks. The big question is on the front. What can I use/get away with? I'd like to keep it as low as possible while still fitting the tires. What are my best option? how would a 1" body lift help?


Thanks in advance!

You could run TRD Tundra coils with some bilstein 5100's. I think you will be stitting a little taller in the rear with the cruiser springs.

Let me know if you are looking for trd coils and shocks, I took them off my 04 tundra and put Downey coil overs ok it shortly after I bought it in 04

Could you pm me a price for the coils and location?

I am running OME 882 with their NitroCharger struts and LX450 coils with OEM cruiser shocks in the rear. My 265/75R16 Treadwrights are nearly the size of 285s.

The parts are in Michigan, would need to think of price?

I'm just getting into 3rd Gen 4Runners and so hitting the boards pretty hard. You may want to consider this post if you haven't already: 3rd Gen 4Runner Lift Information and FAQ's - Toyota 4Runner Forum

look into adjustable bilstein 5100s. they have 3 settings: stock, 1.25", and 2.5". the 5100s let you knock out new shocks and lift for under $200. i run them on my 4runner and they are awesome.
