If you want to go up, longer shackles, add coil springs, add a leaf.... If you don't care how tall the truck is, lower the front to match. The front torsion bars are adjustable, for free...

My son went thru this with his '89. Longer shackles didn't help with the terrible ride, and AAL's only made it worse. He ended up getting a set of 2" Downey springs. Then the engine blew up. They're sitting in my basement now, waiting to get installed on his '87.

add coil springs? is there a how to here on adding coils!! and what type of car/truck should i get them from thanks

2" longer than stock shackles will raise it up the cheapest. It may be tough to get the old spring bolt out of the bushing without destroying it so plan on some bushings too.

if i add longer shackles,do i have to add them on all 4 corners of the leaf's or just the 2 back shackles??
how do i adjust the torsion bars????

You replace the 2 shackles in back with longer ones.

The torsion bars adjust with a vertical bolt at the rear mount of the bar. Follow the bar back to where it mounts on the frame, and find the big bolt. Best to let the pressure of of the bar before adjusting, by supporting the truck by the frame with the tire off of the ground, not by supporting it under the front A arm.

Best cheap rear lift I ever saw was the 63" chevy swap. And that is dirt cheap.

The pick ups and 4Runners have the same springs, but the Runners have more weight. Thus the sag. You said you are going to lift it. When? If very soon, don't worry about it and buy a kit with new rear springs. I bought 3" Downey's. Then I bought a 4" IFS lift. So I am adding 2" TG shackles.

As a side note on another forum I have heard of great success with adding Mazda springs to the Toy pack for a Very flexy hybrid spring pack. Good luck.
