high steer
« on: Nov 24, 2010, 06:57:00 PM »
I was wondering how much lift you can put in a 1990 toyota pickup before the ball joints bind up and break

now this is what i got 1990 toyota truck rears up front 1 1/2 box drop and 6in shackles under the frame

Dog is man's best friend. If you don't believe me lock your wife and your dog in the trunk for an hour and when you open it see which one is truly happy to c.u.

your good

I think 14" would be starting to get alot of bump steer.
a curved steering rod would help if going that high
I ran ruf,5"shackle in frame
on 42s maybe 7"-8" lift total including hanger

i would not go anything over 5 inch lift unless its a mall crawler, but if its a wheeler everyone says you can go with alot of lift, that is true if the springs dont flex, but a set of flexxy 5" springs might have harm on those tie rods, i know i went through at least a set of tie rod ends every 6 months cause flexing wears them out fast
