Lopsided Pre Load.....?

^4Runner, FJ and Tacoma Fox IFP coilovers are a common SKU coming from Fox: If you order coilovers from a service/tuning shop like Accutune, they may swap out the spring based on the vehicle parameters you give them.

 

Just got off the phone with FOX and they confirmed that a 13" 600lb spring is the recommended setup for a 4 runner or Tacoma, and should provide up to 3" of lift. They confirmed my part number is correct.
Hoping I can get these suckers to work!

I realize Accutune will give me some recommendations based on weight of add on extra's and such. The only weight add on I have is a c4 mini bumper which weighs ~75lbs. In order to install the bumper you remove ~30 lbs of stock junk in there, so I am probably ~45lbs increase over stock. Which according to the Accutune chart above, should mean that a 13" 600lb spring is the recommended one to go with.

Unless I am missing something, I'll probably try to re-install these guys next week.
I'll add some pics of the process and see if I can get everything squared away!

Thanks a ton for all the help guys!

 

Hey just briefly read over this cause it pertains to something I’m taking on as we speak

Backtrack…when I FIRST installed my BP51s right outta the box since I had spoken with ARB about it, I just threw them on…but they came with full preload since the guy thought I already had a bumper, winch, etc…I had my local shop, mainline overland, dial it down for me but the truck looked n drove absolutely ridiculous prior with I think 10mm+ preload

fast forward…between now n then I somehow came across basically my dream bumper, local, perfect condition, n extremely discounted, plus a from a member here who serves in the military…win win all round, had to pull the trigger even though it wasn’t necessary but I’d never ever beat that deal

based on the bumper winch suspension rack armor etc I’m starting to put on today my shop still said my preload which is currently bout 5mm+/- won’t need to change too much(aluminum bumper)

so with all that said
Like everyone mentioned

make the calls
Watch the vids
N verify 100%

but that preload looks similar to jack n the beanstalk bud

HAHAHA
Hells yes it did!

 

Alright dudes……I got her all dialed today!
What I ended up doing…..

I swapped sides of the shocks, meaning I put the passenger on the driver and driver on the passenger. I don’t think this made any difference, but wanted the do it just to see what result it would give.

The main 2 things I did was,
1. added a top-hat spacer for the drivers side, to account for the lean without sacrificing preload in order to get my ride height measurement correct.
2. dialed the preload down to where I have 1” of rake, but my shock travel numbers are way better and I have plenty of down travel.

Just got back from the alignment shop and verified my specs.
Here are a couple of pics of the finished product with the Fox’s on.

Now for bump stops, brake lines, and trying to decide if I’m going to put this sway bar back in or not.

Thank you for all your help and advice.
I really appreciate it!
