[QUOTE="trailyota, post: 1075824, member: 17910"] I just picked up an 88 4runner w/3.0 for a steal of a deal and going to start building it for the trails. I've been wheeling a 1st gen. shortbed pickup with 5" All-pro's up front and 1/2 ton 63 inch chevy's in the rear with excellent flex and very little rubbing issues with 37 boggers. The only draw back was the front springs got soft REAL QUICK and lost alot of lift. I've always been extremely happy with how it flexes, but with the added weight of the 4runner, winches, bumpers, cages, family, DOG!!! YES a 110 lb German Shepherd. I'm looking into other options to run 38"s, get good flex, and hold up a little better. I was thinking about going with the Trail-Gear 5inch 25% heavier springs or Marlin's springs up front and either company's 56"s in the rear. [B][COLOR="Blue"]1's question: Anyone running this combo or Trail-Gear or Marlin's up front, and do they flex and hold up well? [/COLOR][/B] [COLOR="Blue"]2nd question: If you're running the 56"s in the rear do they flex well or would you go with the 63" chebbies in the rear. [/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]Pic's would be appreciated, and thank's for your feedback:corn:[/COLOR] Here's a pic of the 1st gen...I'll get a photo of the new project soon and will post the build process as it progresses.
