Rear Leaf Hanger Relocation?

[Teamsobaco]

How far back do I have to move the rear leaf sping hanger on the rear axel?  I know the front is moved 6" foward.

For which springs?

[Teamsobaco]

This is an 86 runner and the springs are All Pro 6 "

Below is the verbage...the second paragraph mentions trucks, I want to know about 4Runners

Rear Suspension Instructions
  All Pro's rear 56" long 4, 5 and 6" lift springs are designed to be used on 1979 and later Toyota Pickup's and 4Runner's. When installing these springs it is possible to keep the axle location as it was or to move the axle forward or backwards depending where you mount the spring hangers. For example it is very common to move the axle back one inch to allow for a better fit of the tire in the fender well.


When installing the 56" long rear springs on 1979 - 1988 trucks, the rear shackle hanger will need to be cut off with a dye grinder and moved back 1.5-2.5" (depending on desired shackle angle) and reattached. The front spring hangers can not be reused after cutting them off so we recommend our heavy duty spring hangers.

I think what it is saying is that u dont have to move the spring hanget just the shackle hanger

[OOPS]

Runners are same as the trucks. Tack weld them on first and set it down on all four wheels to check the shackle angle and wheel postion in the wheelwell.

To do the job right you have to drop the gas tank.

1.5" back to keep axle in stock location or 2.5" back for a better fit for your tires.  x3 same as what OOPS said.
