« on: Nov 08, 2006, 06:22:44 AM »

i have a 85 runner that is going to have the allpro long 4" up front and allpro long 5" in the rear.
iam putting my parts list together and where i want to get each part from. mostly marlin.

for a 1" drop or 2" drop. iam thinking of getting the sky hanger but still might go with marlins.

:dunno: all its really gonna do is have your truck an inch higher if ya get the 2" versus the 1"  :dunno:  as far as I know anyway.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

It will only raise the truck a half inch higherif useing the 1'', becouse you would only be lowering the front half of the spring.If you are anticipateing pitman arm clearance problems then go 2'' (1'' lift)otherwise I would keep it as low as possible.
