Great Work!!

I am going to be mounting my rears up front on my '82. They look like the flex great!

Gewehr43, Are you going to put Banana Shackles with your rears up front not to hit the body mount?

Jordan, Busy with work and Christmas time thats about all. Found a little time to build a front bumper for the truck, also has a chance to help the Bayou State Landcruisers (TLCA group)and Marines with the Toys for Tots drive . Had not participated in something like that before but it was well worth our time. Really put everybody in the Christmas spirit. Merry Christmas to you also. Now make up your mind on what your going to do with the 4Runner to start wheeling

Hehe... I'm getting too good at finding deals on stuff, and that's why I keep changing plans. I guess I'm just going to have to commit to something and see where that takes me. I'll have some money after Christmas, so hopefully I'll be able to wrap it all up and get it on the trails. I'm pretty excited about that.

I'm thinking about selling my Iroks. You look like you could use 'em. Wanna pick 'em up after Christmas? If you have any interest, let me know and we'll work something out. Hope all is well in LA! Merry Christmas!

That truck shure turned out clean. You have done well. We will have to hook up for a trail ride sometime. What rear springs are you running?

Damn, looking good!

I am constantly amazed at how much flex rears up front can provide....sweet!

"I have 2" lift blocks with the factory springs till I put some Ford F-150 springs in the back. The truck feels very stable on the off camber stuff." Pretty good for stock rears

That's lookin' good, man.

The only downside to RUF is crappy pinion angle...

couldnt you shim the springs to correct that?

Yea, you can. I did that with mine. No big deal

Doable · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 20, 2007, 12:02:10 PM »

The pinion angle has not been an issue with me . Should it be ? I have plenty of clearance at my U Joints and they do not bind.

Well its a mixed pack
The main is a Rear 89 main leaf, then a cut down 89 main leaf for the 2nd spring with stock YJ springs and overloads put in. The springs sit almost flat and ride nice on the road. The front rides better then the rear.
