    So I got the Toytec/Bilstein coil overs with SPC uca’s up front and Toytec HD Superflex 2” springs out back with Eibach pro lift shocks (everywhere was out of the Bilstein 5100’s). Anyway, besides a little sway in the rear when turning or going around a curve, my question is…

    I've heard 4runners are known for front driver lean a little (mine is 3/4" lower drivers side) but my rear passenger side is almost an inch taller than the driver rear. Is there a reason for that? Am I measuring wrong?

    Measured from ground through middle of wheel to bottom of fender:
    Driver front: 38 9/16”
    Passenger front: 39 5/16”
    Driver rear: 40 5/8”
    Passenger rear: 41 9/16”

    Measure from the center of wheel hub to the bottom of fender opening. This will eliminate any error caused by tire height, which may be different for each tire.

    You might of just emailed into us here at Toytec but if not



    The best way to measure is on a flat level surface and measure from the center of the wheel hub to the edge of the fender in all 4 corners. From there that will give us an accurate reading to ensure we get you dialed in properly.

    Haha! Yes I did! I was just about to go measure it and message back. Would you prefer here instead of email?

    Do you have added weight back there to accommodate the HD Rear springs?

    No. It was just suggested to me by Hugo (I think?) to get them. I only have a Sherpa Roof Rack and C4 ladder on the back. Should I switch to normal load springs?

    I was also looking to be more level. What do you suggest as far as springs go?

    I will say these are pretty stiff!

    Measured again:

    Driver front: 23”

    Passenger front: 23.5”

    Driver rear: 25.5”

    Passenger rear: 26”


    Trying to find the best flat place. Not easy in my town! :(

    3rd measurement:

    DF: 23”

    PF: 23.5”

    DR: 25”

    PR: 26 1/8”
