Some just get rid of the LSPV.

ok so this might be a noob question but how do i go about removing the lspv and what do i put in its place?

[Rocksurfer]

Personally I've never taken one out there are several ways to do it, just do a google search for toyota lspv removal. I came up with several answers.

Dave'z mount put the bottom shock mounts on top of the axle housing. I do not know where the rest of them are mounted. I have seen Dave'z mount up with the stock LSPV still mounted.
