So thsi past weekend, I had some free time and figured what the hell. The back end of my '89 Runner is running Superlift AAL springs.... w/o the AAL. I put 'em in to jack it up, but ended up taking out the extra AAL leaf b/c the ride was just too harsh. W/ BJ spacer up front, this left me nice and saggy-ended, riding on the overloads.

Got some TJ coils free, stuck the rears on. I only cut about 1.5" off of the end where the coil diameter is mall, wound that sucker into the stcok upper bumpstop... all done.

Here's a shot - note truck still jacked by frame, at full droop:



I'll prob add some rubber hoe around the ends and some kind of keeper, this was just a quick deal to see how it worked out.
Netted a bit under 2" lift measured on the bumper.

I'll get an in-action shot later.

Ride is better! However it's till a bit jarring when the back end goes over speedbumps etc. I'm thinking my shocks might be too stiff...

For the record, there is *no way* this thing could pop out on it's own, even 4 wheeling. I had to compress the snot out of it via a coil tool, and even then it was very difficult to finagel over the bumpstops.
