cranking t-bars is how you do a ghetto/free lift on an IFS rigIf you plan on keeping it somewhat stock for a while, I believe you can use some OME (Old Man Emu) Landcruiser springs to get a pretty good boost in rear hieght and it also addas a bit of firmness. Last time I saw this mod was on I believe yotatech or whatever it is called. Reasearch it a little bit and see what you find.That rear coil lift and cranking the front t-bars will give you some added height to run larger tires. Ask rocksurfer or maybe jimbo (I know, I know) about how to make IFS work off road. Especially rocksurfer.
33x10.50 should be ok though, at least I think so
so what about rear lift coils, could i find longer coils with the same diameter and bolt them up to acheive some lift in the rear? or is it kind of a nono to mix coils like that?
...why buy when you can build?
get it if you can please HO, it would be appreciated,and as you can see, i cleaned up the thread a lot.
or i could just get a pickup rear axle and save the trouble of grinding all the off and putting new on, i just need to find an IFS truck housing and the nill be good to go, or better yet a complete axle RTR, and then someple simple welding and ill be money. plus then i could weld up the truck axle and have a spare 3rd member, since the 4 pin V6 3rds are a pregnant dog to weld anyways...and whats the deal on cranking the T-Bars?
You are better off finding a leaf sprung housing, the 4runner rear housing looks like a Christmas tree with all the brackets on it.You can crank the torsion bars on the front to raise it. It will give you quite a bit harsher ride the more you crank them.Here is the method http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/torsion_bars/I am too slow someone else posted it already
I totally agree.
lts the plan sometime here pretty quick, depends on how the money situation is after the motor swap, of fixing the engine. then once i can get a buildup of cash goin again, ill look into doin it.Quote from: Phazertwo on Jun 23, 2008, 05:27:19 PMCoils don't have a bolt pattern... they are usually clamped in, or welded in... Cut the coil crap out, and run some Chevys, or stock 3rd gen leaves in the rear. Get a add-a-leaf, or some small blocks, crank the t-bars. Throw on some 33's and a locker in the rear, and enjoy/wheel the piss outa it. I ran my truck bone stock with a locker and a bobed bed. NEVER let me down.PZedit: I also had sliders. Saved me from ALOT of body damage!what i meant was getting a new set of coils from something else, and the n be ing able to fit them into where the stock coils were, not that they had a bolt pattern to them or anything. thanks for the posts, ill review them and do some research on different ideas suggested, im looking for as cheap of lift as possible (still safe though) that i can run for a while until i can get the cash for an SAS.

I gotta see this spare tire carrier... posts lots of pics
X2 on fixing the engine.Looks like for just over $100 you can snag the right stuff to hang the pickup springs from your runner.However, the 63"ers are a better idea IMO, since you can use them to match your SAS later, and they will flex to keep up with the bad ass aftermarket springs that are out there now.PZ
meanin what? you wanna see it? or you have no faith in my fab skills?
