Do a search for the ultimate adventure wagon. Bartos made himself a custom lift setup using different parts from different cars. Im in the slow process of gathering parts so I can do the same.

there are a few variations. i've got nissan pathfinder springs and thunderbird shocks in the rear of my terc for a 4" lift back there, and then camry springs in the front struts for a 1"-2" lift in the front. use the search feature and you'll find the years of pathfinders and camry's that work. there are other options that some guys on here have done too that you will find as well.

nice! please, send me your bumpers off your parts car. I hate the idiot federal massive bumpers all the TErcels in North America comes with.

Sorry that's just my lazy canadian terminology. That's what i meant... 4 wheel drive. My family background is Norwegian so i'm always interested in things going on over there. Have you had any luck in your search? There's gotta be some other springs that fit the rear end.

there are, i can't remember what others have used though. just use the search feature trying different key words. rear springs, rear lift, etc.

jeep cherokee frontsprings for the rear lift, but i dont know the type or year for the cherokee

go to a wrecking yard with a measuring tape, and finds something same dia, heavier gauge wire, and longer than Tercel springs. They will work, but will increase over steer unless you find some stiffer springs for the front, or remove rear anti-sway bar.

Same story with the rear shocks (dampers), either make a mount extension or find something with same type mounts with more travel.

I have been looking for information on what springs to put on the rear to give it a lift to clear 27” general grabber at2 tires on 14” American racing wheels. This might be my best luck is to ask you guys for help. I have only had my T4WD SR5 for a month and want to do a lot to it fast. I don’t want to cut any metal, most I want to do is a little fender shaping on the inside of the panels. I’m getting ready for the gambler 500 and want to get more clearance for the adventure. Any thoughts about what year vehicle and what springs springs “front or rear” that sort of thing. Someone also said 4Runner springs in the back and 1” spacers in the front, but no mention of the year to get them off of. I found 2017 4Runner springs and 1 1/2” spacers for 100$
Thank you!
