that looks sick man. i just picked up a stock 85 runner. i am planning on doing the same lift you got and 36s or 37s. urs is looking badass

Thanks... I sold this over a year ago though..  sold for over 9k in one day on craigslist

[yota88]

o dang. how well did them 36s fit in there. did u have to do any trimming?

[chim [OP]]

They fit great.. I just trimmed the back of the front fender close to the cab....

[yota88]

do you remeber how farwoard you moved the hangers in the front and back?

[chim [OP]]

for the front springs, I used the factory rear mount, and put the marlin front hanger in the 1" forward orientation... and basically the tube steel is flush with radiator support.. you can kinda see it on the first page...

for the rear springs, I followed the instructions of moving the forward mount 6" towards the front of the truck from the stock mount, and as for the rear I ended up having to move the rear mount 3" back...  but I think this is a case by case situation.. I had to then set my axle on one of the spring offset mounting points in order to get my wheels centered in wheel well...

I recommend just taking it all well into position to see where it all sits before finish welding..

ok sweet. how did you like the arbs?

[chim [OP]]

They were great when working right... I kept getting gear oil coming back up through the rear air line, even after replacing seals! frustrating!
