Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

[matty_ice_light]

Installed a pair of the front springs. Still have Icon springs in the rear. Sits slightly higher in the front now… got a solid 3” lift in the front.
Ride height and ride quality are great upon initial impressions.
Will work on getting some better pics and updated review after putting more miles and terrain on the springs but so far they’re great.

Good morning gang, I finally stopped at a dealership to take measurements of stock JT's in comparison to my JT with the production springs.

Here's what I measured:

• Spot S will see a 3.5in Front and 3.5in Rear lift
• Mojave will see a 2.7in Front and 3in Rear lift

I took into account the tires on each vehicle, but forgot to take into account if they had steel bumpers, or other add on's that increase vehicle weight. I think it is safe to say these springs provide a 3-3.5in lift across most stock applications.

So what does one do that was gifted a set of front springs, but has a diesel with a 4.5” lift already? lol my wife won them at Jeep Bash and I wish they would have gone to someone who can actually use them!

which 4.5in lift did she have installed? You can always gift them or sell them at a discount

I actually built the lift myself using multiple different companies to get exactly what I needed. I have 4.5” of lift in the front and 3” of lift in the rear to keep it dead level. What I have noticed recently is that with the extra weight of my recovery gear in the bed I’m starting to sag just a hair. I still have a steel bumper that I need to install and that’s going to drop the rear significantly I’m guessing. So I might actually be interested in your rear springs if they provide 3.5” of lift, that would bring me back to where I’d like to be. Maybe we can trade front springs for rear springs?

Piroman683, do you have limit straps on the f/r? If so, could you snap a pic of each? That is next for me.

i do have limit straps on the rear, I welded a tab to the inside of the frame and connected the strap to one of the upper control arm tabs. i dont have straps in the front yet, the suspension locks itself out when you hit about 30in of shock extended length, however, I dont recommend relying on that, its on my list of things to do correctly.

I should be able to snap a photo this evening and will post here for the rear limit strap.
