ive decided that i want to do 4 or 3 link on my runner, front and rear

anyone know where i can buy the kits and weld em on? im looking for simplicity as i dont have alot of time to tinker wit it, and i need to drive the truck

maybe a shop here in portland that can do it?

pics?

There is only one company I know of that makes a kit besides off road solutions, and the mention of that name is punishable by death from argument.

I have talked to shaffers about there kit and its 1200.00 per end the rear comes with every thing including the coils and the front includes every thing but the air shocks. Its really a good deal, if u price ever thing out what it would cost you to buy and make brackets your self it will cost about the same

Wermz84 · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 11, 2007, 09:47:38 AM »

I was looking at these for a while but they are really expensive. was looking at the ORS or the Shaffers.

good luck crawlerdan, and take lots of pics.

its gonna be a while before it happens, prolly a few months, and when it does, im going to try and sell all of it as a package

if not, ill reserve the traction bar for you, it only has 300 miles on it

I just got done doing the Offroad solutions front kit. I know that they are making a rear and it should be out by the end of summer. Also I'vd done a write up on the install and it should be coming out in the next issue of 4WD Toyota Owner Mag.

I know that ORS has a few options for you as well. They are working on a triangulated front and rear. But Highly recommend that if you do a 4link in the front that you have full hydro steering. Curretly they have a 3link with panhard for the front. They are also fine tuning a 3 link with panhard for the rear so that you can keep the stock gas tank if you want.

i have 2 requirments, stock gas tank, and retaining my x-over, so 3 link w/panhard is probably the way ill go
