swapped 882 for TRDs. Rear end Alignment ?

E30RUNNER

Observer
I was able to bring my rig down about an inch. The 882 were too high for my taste probably because I didn't have any serious weight in the front.

I was right at 40" from ground to center wheel well running 285/75/16 mtr

TRD's
I am now at 39" running a stock front and both measurements were with OME N86SC struts. Ride is great a little firmer than with the 882 but nonetheless rides great with the comfort OME shocks. I will post some pics up tomorrow of it. I will be finishing my swap this weekend when I install the LC coils I have sitting in the garage.

Alignment, please help me out with this. I took it to NTB and this is the read out they gave me...

Do these numbers look right to you? the rear feels a little squirly but not too bad. I just wanted to know if this is about the same read outs others are getting?

Sorry I can't help you with the alignment issue. I was just wondering what you are running for springs in the rear.

You can not do a 4 point alignment to a 99 4runner. You can't adjust alignment in the rear the way you can in the front. Have you made any panhard bar corrections to adjust for the lift?

I did. A friend and I measured and cut the panhard welded a sleeve and adjusted for the lift that way. However, I think what the problem is since then my lift has probably settled 3/4 to an inch. I think the easiest thing to do would be to get the adjustable panhard SS sells.

I took at back to the alignment shop for a second look and here's the new readouts

X2... when I put my 890s on the back, I could feel the difference in the panhard bar versus before I put those coils back there. Now that they have settled, it tracks like it used to (when it had 2" poly spacers on stock springs). No complaints as of now.

Notice the car model in the sheet

I'm no expert in alignment but I did notice that the first sheet has RAV4 with 235/60 tires specified as the vehicle. :Wow1: I found it odd that the print out would have specs for the rear of the 4runner, since it's a fixed axle and there isn't much to adjust. Your second redo looks much better and has the correct vehicle listed!

cheers.
