MOOG81041 Coil Spring Set for Toyota 4Runner

These springs fit perfectly and work great on my 4Runner. 4Runner is stock on 16” rims and this fixed my ride and ride height issues. It no longer bottoms out easy and rides very nice. Exactly what I was looking for! These are supposed to be for 3rd gen runners with 16” rims. Will buy again.

After installing the MOOG 81090 Coil Spring Set on my 1997 4Runner, the ride quality has been restored. These springs provide the perfect amount of support and height, making my SUV feel brand new. MOOG's reputation for durable and reliable components holds true. If you want to bring your vehicle's suspension back to life, these coil springs are a wise choice!

The rear of my 4 runner was sagging pretty bad. At 160,000 miles, I thought it was about time to replace them and the rear shocks. These coils are made for the 4x4 version of the 3rd gen T4R and yes, it fits my 2wd even though amazon says it does not. It definetly fixed my rear sag. I paired these coils with KYB Gas-A-Justs and the ride is sooo MUCH better. Best bang for your buck if your trying to stay stock. Now I'm thinking about replacing the front struts/coils....but the labor is expensive so it's time to save up some money! Oh yeah, when viewing my posted picture, note that I have 2.5" spacers in the front. So with these new coils and the KYB shocks in the rear, I still sit about one inch lower in the rear.

Installed with out any issues, works great

Initially I was quite happy with the ride and feel of the springs. After a single year of use though, they have compressed and the rear end is sagging. I know these are cheap, but do yourself a favor and just buy OME or OEM.

I bought these to replace the sagging rear springs in my 2002 4Runner and these were the right match. The install wasn’t too hard. I opted to not disconnect any suspension components or brake lines. I “rented” (free at any auto parts store) a spring compressor, jacked up the rear from the differential pumpkin, took the rear tires off and set them aside, supported the rear frame with jack stands, and lowered the axle as low as possible. Now you can use the spring compressor to get the old springs out fairly quickly but getting in the taller springs is harder and requires compressing them quite a bit and a few attempts.Ride quality is the same as stock and it also helped the rear end from bucking up when braking which is great. Combined with some new shocks, and it’s a world of difference.

Moog coil springs met my needs; good quality at a good price. My ‘99 4Runner had “butt droop”, and these springs brought it 1.5”, and look great!

Procedure for a 1998 Toyota 4 Runner that worked for me. Note: not a mechanic but a weekend DIY "wrench". Chock front wheel. Jack up rear end. Safety stands on both sides. Remove both rear tires. Remove sway bar link to connecting nut on both sides. Remove both bottom bolts on the shocks. (you will need to wiggle/pry bar them off)Place bottle jack (I used the bottle jack located beneath the rear seat) between axle and bump stop on one side of your choice. This is where "be brave" comes into play, expand jack to enlarge opening until you can wrestle out the old spring. Beware! - stored energy is dangerous energy - I used a small block of hardwood to keep the jack centered and stable.Reuse the spring bump stop on new spring. Understand that the opening you provided to remove the old spring will most likely need to be expanded slightly more due to increased height of new springs. Larger end goes "north" or top - be sure the end of the springs top and bottom seat in the proper position. Should be able to tell by old imprint. Remove bottle jack and repeat on other side.Note: When "rebolting" the shocks you may find it handy to use a floor jack to push up and position for an easier installation. I had to hammer mine on slightly. Do not hammer the shock in the middle - tap/hit the bottom round ring.Be sure to reattach links - or replace as I needed to sawzall mine off.
