Me and my buddy put some rear springs out of an 88 4runner in the front of his truck and the springs are completly flat they lowered the truck from 3" lift spring with stock shakles to rears up front with 2" lift shakles. All we did to them was take out the over load, is this wrong? They are way soft and flex bitchen but the truck is a little low now whats with this

you cant just put rears up front ya big dumbie , you gotta add 2-5 6-7mm thick(or whatever) leafs....:flipoff2:

just add 2-3 bottom leafs outta the pack you took out and youll be smilin

Just keep adding leaves until you get the lift you want:

You said this wasn't a question :flipoff2:

TECHnically this is a question :flipoff2:

But yes what booger & 4Crawer said,add a few of your old leafs till your happy.

u could also drop the front hangar a good 2-3 inches and not have a leaf pack that looks like it should be on a earth mover

yes, but for drivability, i would suggest at least 5 leaves, i run 6.
i mixed in mazdas with my fronts, as well as a full length AAL

IIRC the spring rate on the rears is about 130 pounds/inch. So you're gonna have to add some leaves.

A 2-3" drop ahnger will also likely cause death wobble, with that much change in castor angle. Add leaves, everyone that has done this swap has added leaves.

I think thats what he going to do, add some leaves in.


Se not to beat the dead horse but if every simple Question post was like this theyt could fall to the bottom and be accually helpfull to some one searching in sted of 2 pages of "Search Newbie:flipoff:"

we used the top 3 toy rears and the bottom 3 4"yj's (rear pack) and it has about 4" of lift maybe 5" with 2" longer shackles and a stock 84 front hanger, it flexes good way better than just the 4" yjs, but we havn't fully flexed it yet since my buddies truck needs some (minor) finishing.
