Yota with 63" springs question
 
I m running an 86 4runner with solid axle front. Front suspension has stock rear springs from the 4runner and the rear suspension has the 63" chevy 1500 springs. It is very hard to handle on the road at speeds over 30 mph because it sways so bad. Is there a way to make a sway bar setup for it relatively cheap or has anyone esle run into this before and fixed it?

A sway bar would help with cornering, but not really cruising down the road. I have the 63" in the rear and 4" lift, 54" rear springs in the front on my full size. I do get some lean in the corners, but the straight aways are okay even with 10 psi in my TSL's and no sway bar. There is something else going on like Stickman said. I had problems with using an arched rear spring vrs the flat front spring. When you turned the wheel, it would actually move the top part of the truck some because the springs would give. I would also get horrible death wobble at 25 mph. I had to go full hydro to fix it.

I have 4 inch trail gear spring in front and 63s in the rear 38s and daily driven no problems with mine at all.

Try a stock sway bar or any junkyard sway bar that is the right width. Make your own end links. I personally have found that I like a rig better when one end of the rig is a little more stable. I don't believe that a super flexy suspension front and rear is always the way to go. Usually seems like the body sways all over the place and the rig is more tipsy. On the TJ that I had I kept the stock rear sway bar, it was just enough to keep the body more stable.
