I have a 2wd locked runner that Im thinkin about LTing and i know that most guys run prerunners with the leafed LT rears, mainly is a coiled rear gonna be enough to handle the speed? or will i need to convert to a leaf setup or do 4 link rear.

I have only seen about 2 or 3 3rd gen runners running LT, one being BruceTS.

Ive been pondering the conversion of a 2wd to 4wd but I might like going LT more and running it fast.

Sorry for my ignorance.

thanks

Your stock rear won't be able to keep up with the LT front. I know converting to leafs is easier than 3/4 linking it, and with leafs it's easier to keep the back seat when building your shock mounts.

as far as the coilovers for the front, they easy to find? 8x2.5? right now im sitting at about 3 inchs in the front, what is an LT front gonna end up lift wise

sorry again for the stupid ass questions

camburg and tc long travel kits will give you a lift of 4 inches

now its just a matter of saving up and getting this setup on. I plan on transfering to colorado State so i wont be all that far from the desert, would be a hell of a lot closer then i am now

 

[mayhem]

You'll still be a long way from the desert. The LT kit would still come in handy for some wheelin in the mountains though... assuming your 4WD

 

[neliconcept]

true, that it probablly is far, im a 2wd right now. I have been looking for parts to do a 4wd conversion and know exactly what to get and how to do it but its a matter of money

ill actually be in Denver the 16th 17th and 18th then around Colorado till the 26th of march.

take your damn body lift on before you do anything. if you actually do go runnin through the desert, it will be very easy to make your car into two peices. body lifts are stupid anyways lol

Why don't you just ask Bruce then? I know that him and Lance run coils in the rear with just smoothies and no issues. You may have to get creative in your shock mounts but I would imagine it would be easier than doing a leaf swap.

Body lifts are not stupid. Just not adviseable in every case and if you're not into hucking your rig then you should be fine.

a little unknown factoid for you...

truck had a 2" bodylift on it through its whole racing life... worked great...

there's a bit of a difference IMHO between a 4Runner "hard top" (Gen2+) with a body lift and a fully caged cab with what appears to be a cage welded to the frame , no bed, what appears to be a caged front (i.e. no inner engine "fenders")....

Im sorta a noob on the LT subject but from what I can gather an LT setup that is run "baja like" with OUT a cage will soon REQUIRE a cage...

Hear do this to the rear and be able to keep your back seat.

 

[BRUUUP]

Tada

I don't want to know how much time that mezzanine setup took to design... Wheel travel vs shock travel?

 

[BRUUUP]

30" of travel with a 12" shock, Dude did it really quick

 

[BRUUUP]

pop a sqat

I like how the rear door looks like it can still be used. Any pics with it open?

 

[BRUUUP]

no pics of that one but hear is a shot of another Expo linked with rear doors and seat(seats not installed yet). Give you an idea of what it would look like.

 

[BRUUUP]

Ill try to find pics of a guys 4runner on Dezetrangers who goes by chicken. It is one bad mama jama.

I've seen Chicken's 4runner, but I didn't know he was running a mezzanine arm in the rear. Or is that even the same 4runner?
