they are softer than stock but a hell of a lot taller they settle wayyyyy to much at least in the vq powered pathy i have to say not my favorite but to the op the ironman springs come from australia since u would be having them imported from there why not do the king springs that all the Aussies use
-
i honestly cannot recomend the ironman springs
-
linkinpark is on a sfd right? and u would still probably need springs and a spacer for the front borninbarn
-
my 96 looked similar i knew i had to replace the axle so idid what devonianwalk said but i used the wd40 rust eater and a bfg and it broke right out neither of the stock pieces were usable but i had a new axle and the manual hub so care i did not but do what the man says at first okay
-
NOPE STOIC IS RIGHT 4WHEELPARTS AND WIKI ARE WRONG THEY DO COME WITH COIL SPRINGS THE ONE AT THE YARD ARE CONVERSIONS he has two and the other one the 2wd is coil spring his 96 is coil spring rear also
so just to be safe order these these spacers are for the 95 and look closer to the one that stoic bought up here and i do believe this tech custom do make them is 1in as well
-
im starting to think we both are right stoic i think they came with both im thinking when they did the facelift they switched over im gonna confirm at the graveyard now
-
they switched from the second gen august of 1995 so technically its a 95 with a 96 build year if that makes sense but second gens have shackles and third have coil rears
not that this is a viable source but u can see here and shop i went to for the daystar spacers told me they dont fit a 95 as well

-
went and looked at the daystars didnt like the quality looked like the mr gasket spacer i used on my stock spring which is fine but dry out in the desert im gonna go with these when i has more money
-
just to clarify these spacers are for a 96-04 4runner 95 have shackles but good sir bravo bravo. on my way to 32 with ome springs.
-
make sure they have a wall mounted spring compressor if not they tried with a hand compressor and thats no bueno.
-
just do it all at once that way u can just do it and forget now i will say the iron man springs are like the lowest rate springs by far so even though u will lift your truck it may not feel as solid i woould either go with ome or the 4x4 parts .5 meduim duty for that or i would just get the air lift helper kit for 80 bucks then u can adjust how stiff u want the rear to be just my opinon though
-
Lol, I feel better now knowing i am not the only one who has cross threaded a strut nut. I currently have a KYB Excel-G sitting in my garage that looks exactly the same.
Make sure, if using aftermarket (non-oem) strut mounts, that you use the metal spacer that comes with the kit!!!!! If you do not then the nut bottoms out on the threads and will cross thread as you try to get it tight.
I CANNOT stress this enough. I actually read a thread on here where the OP didn't use the spacer and said everything was alright, which is why I did not use it. However, if you look at the OEM mount, the spacer is built in to the mount.
if i could like this a million times i would

sigh to 4wheel parts i go to spend more money
-
i can give u the measurements of the stock coils and ironman lift springs as well to copare but the way the widen at the bottom narrow and square at the top no other nissan 4x4 has that kind of front suspension and considering u got them from a nissan 4x4 store i would go with there the right spring. WHAT I WOULD ALSO DO IS GO BACK TO WHOEVER ASSEMBLED THAT STRUT KICK OPEN THE DOOR AND THROW THAT STRUT AT THE COUNTER AND DEMAND THEY BUY U A NEW ONE
