I'm planning on putting rear springs up front and mazda springs on the rear of my 85 yoty. The only prob I have is settin up the leaf packs. Does any body have any ideas to get the right ride hide to fit the 36" IRoks I have on now. I'm guessing gettin 4" or 5" out of the springs is were I want it. thnks

I put rears up front with f-150's in the rear. Added a single f-150 leaf to the pack up front and I have room for 37's

I got about 4 inches. you have to move the rear spring hanger because they are a little longer. I think I moved mine about 3.5 inches

THK Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 09, 2007, 10:57:42 PM »

the shackle hanger?
or the front hanger for the rear? and are they the same width as the toyota springs?
