stupid all caps filter

I see what you did there!

Good point bob. It is very stable the way it is. But it can be better with very little cost other than time. If I can improve it with little money and a bit of labor, why not? Besides, have you ever seen a 4runner with the Chevy 350 swap and No body lift?

To tell the truth, I had never seen ANY 4Runner in person with a V8 swap done--I did this from pictures, comments, and high hopes, without ever having seen it done! All I know is the pros who offer swap parts said I needed it, so I did it. And as for the composition of the body lift blocks, they are made from materials that the renowned experts at 4Crawler came up with, and in their wider size and with their beefier bolts and such--there's nothing to worry about regarding the materials in the lift.

 

[SV_Dude]

I was never really concerned about the strength of the body lift. My only real motivation for lowering the drive train and the body was to get a lower CG and getting more stability. Not that it's not stable now, I have a 4runner that is already very well built and very capable. But me being me, a person who likes to build my own rigs, I feel like I need to do something major to it to make it my own.

 

[BucknutBob]

No worries--that info was for those who questioned the blocks' longevity. And for the record, anything I might suggest is purely informational--I'm not at all concerned with how you might change the truck, and don't want to influence from any other standpoint than what I might suggest to anyone else and their rig. That truck is YOURS, my friend--I'm just along to watch the show!

I have no doubt that it can be done.

I voted to wheel it as is. If you really hate it, you can always lower it later.

That's pretty much what I have been talked into. It does make more sense to wheel it as is and get used to it and see if it really needs to be lowered.
