Suspension question
« on: May 03, 2007, 07:17:26 PM »
hey, I got an '82 toyota under construction and I am getting ready to set up the suspension.  I am wondering what is the easiest way to set up a custom suspension system that gives the most flex with toyota springs and is nice, sturdy and most of all tough.  I am gonna do X-over steering with an IFS box out of an '87.  What shocks should I go with, Company? Size?   :flamer:

Rears up front is always a great option for a good working suspension on the cheap.

If you can afford it, Marlin or Allpro
If you want to build it, then RUF/Chevys
