I bought an 87 toyota project truck. It had front crossmember, and rear shackles through frame already done. I've just bolted hysteer up. I'm currently trying to decide where to mount steering box, whether to use flat or drop pitman arm, angle of box etc., and whether to keep or get rid of 3" body lift, as drivetrain lift could be in the works. Trying to figure that out before box mounted permanently/rad support hacked up.
It has 87 4runner springs in front, I think that moves axle forward 2"? I was thinking of moving it another inch forward with spring plate. Steering box is anywhere from 3.5"-4" forward of stock, depending what angle I mount it at.
Not sure how much front end will drop when drivetrain is installed, but very soft already. Springs are pretty flat. Tires in pic are 36X12.50.
Any suggestions and/or advice appreciated. Going to check out other projects on forum for ideas now.
Thanks, Bob.
Will be removing as much body lift as possible and still have room for rocksliders
No bodylift
