There a pair of REAR 80 series LC springs up for sale locally at $100.

I have a kzj95 Prado - will I get any lift from the 80 rear springs?

I've searched, and ended up more confused!
 
I can't remember if it was fronts or rears but they used to put them on the rear of surf's/forerunners and it gave them a 3 inch lift. But something needed to be fabricated to get them to fit right.
 
Fbnss, Thanks for your response.

Turns out after picking the springs up today, my question was completely irrelevant anyway!

I ended up with all four springs ha!
 
So... I need some help please !

I have installed a 2 inch lift in the front (so much more straight forward than I expected! ) I was trying to fit the rear springs today and I can't for the life of me get enough clearance to fit the buggers in...
Do I need to remove both springs before fitting the new ones?
Is there a walk through anyone can link me to?

Thanks in advance
 
Drop the panhard rod and arb links. Then get as much droop as possible with the weight of the axle or pop a small jack in there and push the axle down. There is a knack I'm afraid. They will literally fall out if you get it right.
 
To avoid having to drop the ARB and panhard rod you can use spring compressors. It takes a fair bit of fiddling to get the compressors into the right position to actually tighten them. I've done it twice now and it is easier if you swear a lot.
