Performance Products 1" springs and Bilsteins
I recently placed an order for the Performance Products 1" springs and Bilstein Shocks. The Springs just arrived today and I thought I share some pics .
I initially placed the full order through Performance Products, but got some bad customer service. I called in to check if it was in stock since they were about 45 mins away and they said yes. Since I was busy that week I just placed the order online, 3 days past and I called in, only find out that the Bilstein shocks were on national backorder till mid April and the springs had not been shipped out. So I canceled the shocks and purchased them from eShocks who had them in stock and will be coming in tomorrow.
This set will be going on a 97 4Runner 2wd...would it make a difference for these springs whether which one is left or right?
On with the pics:
Rear 2wd stock springs vs. Rear PP 1" springs

You can use them on 2WD or 4WD but the amount of lift you'll get will change. Definately would be good to see and measure before and after the install for others to reference later.

Here are pics of my before and after. I used Tokico Trekmaster shocks instead of Bilsteins. The ride is great! The last two pics in the folder show before, the rest are after.

Bilstein Shocks
The Bilstein Shocks came in today and now its all complete, awaiting to be installed this Saturday.
As of now its running on stock 2wd springs up front with Tokico Trekmasters and 99 4wd springs in the rear with Tokicos also. The rear springs have sagged over time where it's practically sitting on the bump stops. I had to remove the spare tire to give it just a little over half an inch, as this is my daily driver.
Here are the pics:
Current stance....will follow up with a before and after later on

83boo2.........
I did the job myself.....
Very basic install. If you attempt
to do it yourself, you'll need a
spring compressor.
I wish I'd have gone with
285/75's in the beginning.
