Topic: another 85 build - could it be taking any longer?

probably just my eyes playing tricks on me but that spring looks bent 



are you going with a u-bolt flip? did you decide not to replace the knuckle studs and nuts? looks good otherwise

the U-bolt flip kit will not work unless he does hy-steer, or modifies it somehow, the bolts will hit the J-arm/drag link.  I'll post some pics of my 4runner in a few days,  I've got mine set up really low but flexy at the same time.

Thanks for the input guys - there will be a phase 2 after I get it back on the road and drive/wheel it for a while.  The $$$ thing has pushed some stuff out of phase 1 unfortunately.

uhm...you spent all that time cleaning and painting your knuckles and then put rusty, dirty steering stop bolts back on?

Just one of those things, hadn't planned to but needed the stops to work while requilding the knuckles.  Threads are clean though
