Hello, I have a 1985 4Runner with a suspension lift (Chevy Springs) and a body lift. It is running 33 X 12.5 mud tires. I also have a 3rd gen 6cyl 4WD. So, I have decided to take the body lift kit off of the 85, put some more streetable tires on it, and assign it for general family extra-car...

Hey. Thank you very much for the directions and link. I am ready to do the job!
