Topic: Torque Rod and Lift

[TigerToy]

Some people call it a radius arm, I call it a torque rod, uhuh.  That there potted meats got peckers in it.  Anyway, do people just take it off when they lift their trucks?

[kyle_22r]

that ain't no radius arm

it'll give you more flex but it's generally not a good idea to take it off unless you go to crossover steering.  the main thing it does is control brake steer, but it'll also keep you away from breaking j-arms

if you're not gonna go with crossover, a drop torque arm might be a good investment

with stock springs do you think that there would be enoph droop to break a j arm i dont think so but 

[Jared]

if youve jumped your truck a couple of times on asphalt and if your flexin it pretty good yah you can.  my buddy does it all the time.....

[Bazzi]

that is true there is no problem to breake these litle buggers

i'm probably gonna limit myself to about 2" of lift and if i ever need more i'll do crossover.

hysteer isn't too common among my buddies that wheel...i have a friend that did an SAS a year ago on his '90 truck and went through all the trouble of mounting a push pull box on it   another friend told me that you can't make a toyota flex well   just goes to show what some people know

regardless, there's not too much i need to be super flexy on around my area, my truck is probably gonna be more of a messing around/fishing/camping rig.  i'm just planning on double locking it to go farther than anybody with a lot of flex and lift and open diffs

with a locked up solid axle toy you can go just about any where evin if its stock hight, key word almost
