calmini Springs & Ranch 5116's good combo?

[MikeV]

I'm in need of a a quick replacement for my rear suspension, sagging and looks like a 4-runner

looking at Calmini's with the 3" lift NP12631 and was wondering if the 5116's would be the proper spring to use. Junk Yards around here charge $25 each fo JGC springs, So I'm buying new.

I live in Wisconsin and can't find calmini anywhere, their website sucks and doesn't do anything but give me a pic and model #.

If this combo sounds good where can I get it?

I need to have them ASAP as I head north with ATV next weekend and don't want to bottom out the entire way.

:help:

called calmini,

if I buy the rear springs and shocks(3" lift) I was told I will have to fab a brakeline mount and trackbar? any one have any pics of these so I know what I am up against in the fab dept. Not sure what the trackbar is? :confused:

Thanks

They don't know what they're talking about. I'd look elsewhere for new springs, actually. You'll probably wait 6 months for them anyway with their track record.

I was kind of thinking something was up when I called them.

Just ordered from 4x4 parts.com

3 inch lift springs with Rancho RS9000X shocks

After you(88) said you get asked if something is wrong with your truck from the whoosh whoosh sound. I can imagine my Ol' Lady asking that about 15,000 times. are you sure there is nothing wrong with it? :furious:

I was searching for JGC's but all I could find were fronts with 5 coils and from the write up's I have read they should be to be 9. So no dice there.

 

I have your writeup on changing to JGC and Ford springs, but what is the track bar? I searched and could not find anything or should the coils go in okay.

having a shop put them in. also the front is just stock springs and shocks. reindexed of course! I will replace the front asap. Do you think I will have any issues with the difference. Drives strait with the front up 3", logging roads and flooded trails are all I go thru (with trailer) so rear is sagging bad. so hopefully all will be well

Thanks!
