Compatibility- 1998 100 LC springs on 2006 LX (1 Viewer)

Would these fit my LX? In the process of completing the mod to LC suspension. Ad says "Landcruiser OEM springs" but then it mentions 4Runner...? Thanks.

It would fit. Why do you want to do this? The LX springs for AHC have a different spring rate. Unless you're adding a lot of weight LC springs will be a really harsh ride.

FYI the OEM part for a 1998 Land Cruiser doesn't mention any compatibility with 4Runners. I'd be wary of whatever it is you're trying to buy right now.

Yes, they’ll work if they’re for a 100 and not a 4Runner.

Thanks Yota- it would not surprise me to discover I don't know what I want- still learning about my new-to-me LX.

What I do know is the AHC was disabled, the front end rides very low, any road bumps feel very hard, and there seems to me to be way too much body roll on curves. I picked up a set of LC TBs after reading on MUD that this is recommended for LX conversion to LC suspension, but they are not installed yet. It would also not surprise me if the (now disabled) front shocks are original equipment.

I don't plan on much, if any off-roading, but I do hope to tow about 6000lb some day.

Gotcha, if the AHC is disabled, you'd want to get the Land Cruiser shocks/springs/torsion bars. They will fit no problem and most likely fix your ride issues. From there a lot of people use air bags in the rear for towing.

Got it- thanks.

What do you mean by AHC is disabled?
You either have it or you don't.

I am running the AHC system with non-AHC LC100 cois in the rear for 6 years.
No issues at all.

 

[hikerfisher]

I mean there’s no operable AHC.

Since those springs aren’t exactly fresh I’d throw a pair of 30mm spacers in with them to give the rear end a bit more perk.

Thanks- I decided to splurge on new ones...
