So i put landcruiser 8.25's in the rear /tundra bilsteins in the front with stock 99 4runner talls / 1" diff drop kit, wheel spacers 1.50" /285/70/16 mtr's
and to match the rear lift after pulling the struts out too many times i put them on the top slot for max lift but the tundra billies allow the newer napa cv's to hyper extend and bind up . is anyone else having/had / or know a easiest fix . I know the sway bar will not allow the down travel to cause the binding but if i hit some cattle guards or something i just want to be safe
i'm thinking limit straps ?
I haven't taken it to the alignment shop yet but are they even going to be able to align it with stock upper arms? I'm not in a position to buy uppers and i really don't want to spend that type of money for uppers
thanks
p.s. i should have sas it

How much lift are you getting up front? To fix the issue lower the front. Its that simple. You have to much rear lift if you want to match it. You will need to go to a SAS if you want that much lift.
 
Just enough lift 7wrap rears huh I'm going to have to hunt some of those down

so the 3rd knotch on the billies rub horrible - so i would have to beat the day lights out of the wheel wells but i can do that if needed . but i need to match it with the rear i truly cant stand the rear higher than the front 7 wraps will drop me a 1" ?
 
If you can't stand rake, lc wraps in the back may not have been the best choice. Sonoran steel sells a lift kit with tundra up front, lc rear, any they have you check a box when you order it that says "I understand my rear will be 1"-1.5" taller than the front"

Although it can be done, I really think you're stretching the geometry of your front end beyond what's healthy for the truck without serious modification by trying to make the front match the rear on those 8 wraps. If you really want lc coils and have to be level, 7 wraps might do you a lot better. Then if you're still having a hard time, you can get the lcs a touch lower by pulling the rubber cones out and mounting some aftermarket bump stops outside the coil.
 
That makes sense :ybrick: i will pull the cone and drop the front /and start hunting for some 7 wraps ,
i really love the way it rides it's alot better than when i bought it
that still will not solve the bilsteins allowing the front to droop so much but i will have to leave the sway bar hooked up and hope the sway bar doesn't snap one day
thanks guys
