HELP ME!

[Skinny_Pedal]

go 2" block, 1" shackle. make the shackle. take some 3/8 plate or 1/4 whatever. cut to lenght, drill some holes. your good to go!

[Fireimp141]

1" shackle? i was thinking atleast 2, if not 3

[WHITE_TRASH]

For every inch of added length to a shackle you will gain about half an inch of lift.  remember that.

[Fireimp141]

ya and i got like a 4 inch deficite in my rear thanx to literally flat leaf springs, so 3 inch shackles should do it?

[Skinny_Pedal]

and u really dont want the ass higher than the front. thats just plain silly! unless u tow

[Fireimp141]

i know that but... hold on lemme go measure the fender ride differences

[brainlessfool]

how about a add-a-leaf ? at napa?

[Fireimp141]

i dont feel like doing that, temporary solution thats just money wasted, anyways my front fender to tire clearence is about 8.5" and my rear is about 4.5-5" so if i get 2" blocks and 3" shackles i should be riding about even or less, and then also im cranking my torsions so thats gonna be like another 1.5 in the front, so should i go with 4 inch shackles, 3 inch blocks or what, stay at 3" shackles with 2" blocks?

[Skinny_Pedal]

wow that is overkill. 2" blocks, 2" shackles. thats more than enough. your rig look identical to mine when i had the little 29"s on there

[Fireimp141]

ok but with 2 inch block and 2 inch shackle, will i be able to fit 33X12.5-15 under there? i know i wont be able to stuff much but thats fine for now

[Skinny_Pedal]

o yeah they will fit. i saw a 4runner with tbars crancked, nothing in the rear with 33x12.50. he drove it everyday like that. u may want to consider a extended brake line back there. that may be to much lift for the stockers. not positive though

[SWAMPER]

Blah shakel this shakel that just re-arche the damn thing its better on the long run

[Fireimp141]

Ok cool! then its set! i should have all this done within like a week, if i can get torsions from the offroad place near my house, so bear with me guys! and by the way u guys rule to the max! knowlege is power, specially if its for my truck! now i wont look like a jackass with 7" lift and 35" tires, and NOTHING else haha! priciate all the help and the questions will keep rollin!

[SWAMPER]

Evrybody has questions now and then...just post pics of b4 and after

[Fireimp141]

haha swamper is a funny guy, even if i did rearch the leafs, i would still get shackles but i might get em rearched, how much that cost? if its cost of blocks then might as well! o and none of u answered my question! what leafs would fit a rear? i heard wagoneer leaf springs would fit stock shackle placement, but i dunno if thats right or not... what types and lengths of springs fit rear 86 toyota 4runner stock leafs

[SWAMPER]

As you saw earlier Im not as well as informed in the leaf section myself but Im sure someone has an answer....oh and I know you would still get shakels even though you re-arch your leafs you just wont look like a tard with 6" long shakels and flat leafs

[To The Floor]

I don't think waggies will fit in the rear without cutting the old hanger and re-welding a new hanger further forward. (the front hanger for the rear springs).  because the waggies are 56" long and the stock toys are like 47" or something like that.

[Fireimp141]

Hahaha nice way to put it, crazy kid! i would never get that long of shackles but it would be funny if i did max id get is like 3 prolly and yah, ill have to get new leafs here soon, i just want my tires for now heh, tired of the stock 28's that come on mine with no tread or traction rawr, dammit

[Fireimp141]

are waggys good though? are they worth the replacemtn of the hanger?

[SWAMPER]

Yeah but trust me on the long run its always better to have arched springs

[Fireimp141]

lolol swamper dood i get it! im just asking if its worth the effort, should i just get new stock leaf springs, or get the waggys and replace hanger?

[SWAMPER]

  Your a meanie 

[Fireimp141]

haha  for teh swampa

[SWAMPER]

Dude this thread is starting to feel like a chat 

[Skinny_Pedal]

dont listen to swamp, hes a mall crawler . j/k. but im gonna ahve to disagree with and say no rearching. just add the blocks and shackles. old leaves are fun!

[To The Floor]

Well I'll put it this way.  I have a 4" lift on my truck right now and I am going to put waggies on it front and rear to replace the 4" lift I already have.  Get the lift out of the blocks, shackles and drop hanger.  So yes I would say it's worth the effort.  Cuz stock 56" waggies will give you a 2" lift.

[Fireimp141]

haha 86 is sticking to his word! o well, for jobless me its gonna have to be blocks for right now, later on new springs of course, but for now, shackles and blocks, shackles and blocks

[Skinny_Pedal]

good call. and u cn save yourself money by making the shackles. and if u have problems, ill build them at a small fee of course!

[Fireimp141]

so what would this small fee be? i want strong 3" shackles, how much u charge WITH s/h to 75067?

[SWAMPER]

He just dosent want you to get new springs because he wants to rip you off some for the shakels
