what do i have to do to put them in the stock location and make it work? have no welder or fabing so i want to know if this will work in stock location and if it will move the axel foward at all

yes, it will move the axle forward. you will have to run a longer shackle to make up for the shackle being puched back a bit, and also, you will need hi steer to make the steering work.

They can be used without relocating the axle if you are willing to redrill the center pin holes. I am running them on the front of my '80 with stock steering and everything. They ride better than the stock fronts and I got about 1.5" to 2" of lift using 4 leaves and a 5" shackle. Alot more travel, too. My goal was stock looking but improved suspension. I have a thread on it in here somewhere. That's probably not what you're after though.

i have the longest shackels that trail gear makes for an 85 4runner. Will those work or do i have to get boomerang shackels and what is the differance between them?

boomerang shackels will move your spring back a little bit and give you a better shackel angle and clear the body mount better. you could use regular ones and see how it works out. I'm using ruf but i was ifs so i had to put a hanger on which moved it up a lil bit. I also did my frame tubes a little lower then most and I have a ok shackel angle.
ps my trucks a lil to tall because of the body lift.
