TRS Banner Rowdy Fitzgerald said:. So I just got off the phone with Summit They told me that if I installed the coils I cant return them. So basically im being punished for not being an incompetant idiot an knowing what I order. And they guy even had the nerve to tell me that the axle travel is supposed to be limited by the shock. Ya dumbass lets let the shock overextend every single time the suspension flexes He basically treated me like an idiot who ordered the wrong part.
Luckily he said I could return the shocks even though one of them was put together. But now I have to pay double shipping for parts I dont have. I was thinking I could just get a leveling kit to add to my springs since I cant return them and order some 6" shocks of some kind that way they will be long enough hmm hopefully not too long to get my front lift. Do you guys think the rear skyjacker 4" shocks will work with expo leafs and a 2" block? Huh if you cant stack them then whats the point of a 2inch lift block if its the same height as the stock one?
Maybe ill just put in enough washers to get 4". Last edited: Apr 10, How did you measure the OEM shocks? From what point to what point? I have my original shocks in the garage and I'm just wondering if you measure from tip to tip. I hadn't considered this. So, what you are saying is that my overinflated bags are acting like a heavy duty spring that's meant to carry weight.
This in turn is making the front bouncy. They are setup for increased lift but travel is about the same if that makes sense. Do you still have your rear swaybar? If so, your travel is limited in that respect. I run bilsteins in my work rig and they provide a more dampened ride in comparison to OME. What is your nosedive like currently during hard braking? The lb Eibach may not be heavy enough to carry the weight of the V8 as well I agree with others that it is more than likely the pairing of Bilsteins with OME as they have different ride characteristics.
Might be as simple as going with s in the rear. Rear swaybar still in place. I don't feel I have a dive problem on hard braking.
On that Dobinson post I linked above, Dobinson has these springs for the 4R V8 which seems to indicate that lbs is okay. But then again, I'm not an expert on spring loads and don't have the details on my front springs. As mentioned, going off of experience. I only asked about the coils as that is what folks ran in the FJCs with no load on the front.
Once adding bumper, winch, skids, etc. When researching before getting my GX, I was running comparisons between the two vehicles to get a feel as to how compatible my suspension would be. To the best of my knowledge the GX weighs about lbs more in the front than the FJ does. That was equivalent to my ARB bullbar and winch and therefore not worrried about switching it over. They list the same rate for standard duty and heavy duty.
Just came across this and thought it may be of some help. The rates are for a V8 4Runner. Yeah, I have that table but missing GX specific info. Last edited: Apr 11, Click to expand HomersCanyonero said:.
Sleepy I went back to read that thread by Kyle Fogle and he posted that he got He later switched to the progressive rear springs which I assume are the CV rear springs, but he didn't say if that changed his height in the rear. The Dobinsons MRR have arrived! When it comes to determining the correct length of a shock absorber to fit an application, you need to adhere to the following method: refer to fig.
The Bump Stop Height B. How calculate the answer, using the following example of the formula. Installed length of the shock absorber is mm The bump stop clearance is mm The bump stop height is 95mm.
Remove the lower mount of the shock absorber and slowly lower the suspension to full droop whilst maintaining some support under the axle or control arm. The reason for this, is not to stress the flexible brake hose at full droop. If there is an amount of travel to go and there is tension on the flexible brake hose, then it maybe wise to investigate the fitment of a longer hose.
For a coil spring suspension the extended length is required to be approximately 12mm shorter. As figure 5 shows, the over all extended length of the shock has been increased by mm, but the increase of the compressed length has only been increased by 50mm, because the 50mm of shaft length the blue section will fit into the body.
So there is no damage to the shock absorber under full compression, the bump stop has to be increased in length by 50mm. This may be achieved in one of two ways, place a spacer of 50 mm between the bump stop and the chassis using 50mm longer mounting bolts or replacing the bump stop with a longer unit, with similar compression capabilities.
All suspensions will have some form of bump and rebound stops, whether it be beam axle, live axle, independent, wishbone or McPherson strut. In a lot of modern cars, the bump stops may now act as a secondary load carrying device. I used the lift coils and the lift said "may need longer rear shocks". My question is how do I know if the shocks are too short? What leads me to believe the shocks are too short is when I am off road or even on road and hit a bump my rear bottoms out very quickly and makes a loud kunk.
It seems to me, that's is the shocks limiting out as the axle tries to droop. I am just looking for some feedback on if this sounds like where I need to start.

Buy something longer than those FYI, Bilstein s are only good for up to 2" lift or so, so you might need to look into something with a bit more travel, ICON maybe?
Why not give Toytec a call and see what they recommend. Last edited by thebwlife; at PM. Icon is one.. Originally Posted by adam Originally Posted by thebwlife. Get 's thats what toytec recommends or OME is what I have with the same springs. OEM running boards.
