OVRAROK. My 87 4runner

[redneckcustoms13]

Mine with 4.56 and 33s measuring 32.875 has never gotten over 14. Now on 40s and 4.88 gears it's still 14.

I must have missed it but why are You replacing the rear housing?

[OVRAROK]

I'm pushing my axle back another 2 to 3 inches..new rear truss. And some new paint..This way my 4runner isn't down but a couple hours..

[mudmaster]

What are the side plates on the perches for?

Stripped down the rear housing.. made a little jig that allows me to set the perch angle..the nylon ratchet strap holds the housing..allows me to turn to whatever angle..and jackstands holding perches allow me to adjust angle..now to get measurements off current housing....

would it be the same angle if you are changing tire size?

Ok, or just a new guy trying to figure this stuff out. 

I did get a chuckle out of the comment though [emoji23]

[OVRAROK]

I do believe that moving rear axle BACK...will come into play...with the U- bolt setup it was easy... I could tack weld perches..snug u bolts..then with 3rd member installed I could snap tack welds with floor jack..what worked for me was lining up rear diff with rear output on transfercase..then I moved diff 2° down..
The more I dwell on this..I may keep perches tacked..Jimmy up a u bolt temp gig..let everything rest on it's on weight with half my gear in it..then line everything up..and drop diff 2°...

Tires size doesn't change the pinion angle

[toyodaaddict]

Ive never seen offset perches like that, did you make them?

[dementia]

HEY! I already said that

Now that you will be moving the rear axle back (which I think is a great idea) does that mean some sheet metal will be modified at the rear part of the fender flare? Any plans for a rear bumper in the near future?

The plan is to push axle back... gain some departure angle..clearance body.. then Make rear bumper...

[cbeers]

 did your old bumper push up into the tailgate or was it just your pinion angle was off?

The rear bumper was on my 4runner when I first bought it..The first year I went to MCR..I found out that is was just bolted down..it tweaked my tailgate bad..
