I have not gotten that far yet. I am kinda new to this...well not to wheelin, I just grew up with chevy half ton's. This is my first toyota build and I want to do it right. I have the welders and cutters to do the job but am just kinda lost as to knowlege of how do do it a cheeper way then ordering new kits. I do know that if i get the new kits it will take a while for the springs to wear in and give me the true articulation i want. I know I need to make the front match the rear. but i am still in the market for a front axle and am not having very much luck finding one.What are the best gearing setups? I have a lockright locker in the rear right now but i do not remember what the gearing is. I will have to tear the cover off and count the pinion gear. What should i do? The rear end is strong and i love the locker and the transfer case as it is. It is low enough to do what i want it to do i just want to get rid of the IFS. Im a sponge and just soaking up all i can. I will check out pirate4x4 and look for the threads. I heard that i can put chev rear springs in the rear and toyota rears in the front but i would have to build custom shackles to make the truck sit level right?
