linkinpark Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So I was gonna pay a local shop to fab me up a 1.5 inch spring spacer and was gonna be around 150 for the set then powder coat them. Well while wheeling with a group of friends i saw that one of them had spring spacers in the rear of their rig. I went to my local junk yard with my old springs to compare and yup really close fit. Well 45 bucks and two days later I have a nice 1.25 leveling kit. What year make and model you ask? 1990-1995 Toyota 4runners!!!! Pics coming soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borninabarn Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 What did you buy at the salvage yard? Rear coil springs out of a 90-95 4-Runner that will fit the rear on our R50s or some sort of factory coil spacers? from a 90-95 4-Runner? Thanks in advance!

linkinpark Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I went to the junk yard to check measure ment. So if you Google search rear coil spacers then you will find what your looking for. Mine are daystar spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borninabarn Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Do you have the Daystar Part number? So you are saying that the Daystar Spacers for a 90-95 4 Runner will fit our Stock R50 Coils? Sorry my cogswell clogs dont line up all the time Ha hA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stioc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Linkinpark, dude you're my hero! I was planning to make some myself but you saved me the time. At $50 a pair that's a very fair price. I was thinking about installing the NX4 front spacers once my AC springs settle a bit more so this will be a perfect compliment to them. In that pic above did you install them in with an aftermarket spring? I ask because when I installed the AC springs it was difficult to squeeze them in and for a 1 inch spacer in there I would definitely have to compress the springs. Edit: wait, are they metal or rubber/poly? Edited June 4, 2013 by stioc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stioc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) OK looks like it's these and they're Poly. I wouldn't expect more than a couple of years out of them but still not a bad deal for the price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GH1PB4 Edited June 4, 2013 by stioc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 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 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-BILLET-BLOCK-LIFT-KIT-REAR-1-5-COIL-SPACER-2WD-4WD-4X2-4X4-/360654842462?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1996%7CModel%3A4Runner&hash=item53f8b42a5e&vxp=mtr#ht_2435wt_998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borninabarn Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Ok Guys, So if I or anyone finds a site that sells spacers just order them to fit a 90-95 4 Runner rear and they will fit our factory stock R50 rear springs?Is that correct? So where are we at for the from to get that lifted even with the back now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stioc Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Are you sure about the 96-04? I'm pretty sure the 94 4Runners had rear coil springs. If you do a 'image search' on Google you'll see plenty. I do believe the 96+ were different coils than the previous gen so which ones work with the R50s? As for that Billet T6061 Aluminum for $70 with free shipping? that's a great deal! if it's the right diameter and comes in one inch lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_4Runner#Third_generation_.281995.E2.80.932002.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The original poster said: 90-95 Rear spacers. NOT 96-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, since the rear wheel wells are cut lower (by about 3") than the front wheel wells, even a perfectly level 4Runner will look like it is sitting low in back. So having the rear end a little higher than the front can make the vehicle look like it sits level. Note: The coil spring spacers only provide lift for the rear end of your 4Runner." So I reckon the OP was right in listing the correct model years (90-95) of the 4runner compatible with the R50s.

shoesandsocks Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited June 4, 2013 by shoesandsocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erathge Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Anyone know if these will work with the thicker AC springs? Good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinpark Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have the AC lift springs in the back and yes they fit. Now as for a metal ones I wont promise they will fit. When I put weight on these the popped into place. Which means they flexed. Metal wont. And yes for sure it is the 90-95 4runners. Part Number: KT09100BKProduct Name: Rear Coil Spring Spacers - 1-1/4 InchQuantity: 1Unit Price: $39.95 Thats what I ordered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borninabarn Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Did you happen to see if they offer a 2" spacer? And where are you guys finding these? What brand of spacers are they? The Poly and aluminum? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinpark Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Mine are daystar spacers. I don't think that the aluminum ones will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
