Look what I picked up today

[92-SR5]

Time to start on getting my truck mildly lifted. More pics to come!

 

[KidVermicious]

They are a diff drop spacer to help with the cv angle.

 

[KidVermicious]

I ran 1.5 ball joint spacers for a couple years, I never found I needed to drop the diff.

 

[92-SR5]

I wasn't sure so I bought them to be on the safe side. I'm not complaining at $84 for everything including grade 8 hardware.

 

[ToyoTech]

i have diff drop but mine are one inch drop. where did you get such low diff drop? im thinking of doing only 1/2 diff drop so i can add a brace between the rear arms

There is a guy who lives right next to my cousin that works out of his home garage, who is a fabricator/machinist. He often sells his stuff on portland craigslist and he also ships his stuff.
I found one of his ads for you
Toyota Lift - 4x4 - 86-95

So I have some fj80 coils for my rear and I am going to need shocks. Anybody know if LC shocks would work correctly vs aftermarket "lift" shocks?

I think they would work if it has a stud one one side and the eyelet on the other.

 

[92-SR5]

Taking a break because it is freezing working on the pavement I thought I would snap a few pics of where I'm at so far.

 

[KidVermicious]

Ack! You need jackstands, man.

 

[92-SR5]

I got them on it. I never go under a vehicle without them. I just had the tires off when I took the picture and didn't throw jack stands under it yet.

 

[KidVermicious]

Awesome. Sorry to call you out, I did it to FoG and his cinderblock stands too.

I hear you on the cold concrete. I need to get my front springs on, but danged if I'm going to roll around in the snow to do it.

I totally understand! Cinder blocks are very dangerous due to the fact that they can collapse without notice. It looks like I have been working on it but I just like to have all the tools I am going to use all set up in my "work area."
Well I decided to do things the right way after tearing it apart today and replace my ball joints, so it is going to delay the process a few days because I bought them online. I also need a new idler arm. :dammit: If I can borrow a couple more jackstands from a buddy I will probably throw the rear coils on in the meantime.

 

[KidVermicious]

Do the Autozone arm and SDORI bushings. I wheeled mine for three years and had no troubles with it, I have a buddy who went through three stock idlers in a year.

 

[92-SR5]

I'll keep that in mind! I have heard nothing but good things about SDORI.

And now I use them to stand on so I can see in the engine bay. I'm too damn short! Kid, buy me two more jack stands for my upcoming suspension work.

 

[4runnerBrett]

Can you take a couple pics of the stock coils and measure how long they are?

Screw you, I'm gonna steal your jackstands to slow your build down. :flipoff:

I will let you know when I pop them out. Probably in the next couple days.
