Ed's '91 4Runner Project
Rear Leaf Swap - Front D44 Swap
Rear coil to leaf swap- Spring 2002
(went in with a Superlift 4" front lift kit, see SAS "before"
pics)
Allpro 5.5" lift, 56" long springs and hangers (gave about 4" of lift on this heavy, late-model Runner)
Welded on some additional 1.5" blocks at time of SAS, as seen in this pic.
Cutting off all the coil brackets was a lot more work than cutting off the IFS brackets.
