I love how mine rides with the spacers. I have a brand new set of OME torsion bars, but I have yet to install them. There is nothing wrong with the ones have in there now.

That's one of those things. You could install them and say, why did I wait so long or I wish I had my stock bars back on.

i was thinking since this lift is gonna increase my CV axle angle, i would like to do a manual hub conversion so the front axles aren't always spinning (may help mpg's too) im guessing this would be a simple bolt on. anyone know where i could get a set of used hubs? dont wanna pay the price for new ones (outrageous)

So basically you want my 4runner? You will also want to do a diff drop to decrease the angle on your CV axles. Manual hubs can be picked up anywhere, but make sure you get the Aisins. There are tons of write ups for the swap.

you caught me :thumb3: i just keep throwing out ideas that i have for it looking to refine them with peoples input/experience. is the diff drop something i NEED to do? would it change the angles so much that there would be a chance of binding the joints?

You don't NEED it, but it does relieve the angles on the CV. I can show you how to make your own diff drop for about $20 and takes about 10 minutes to install.

i was cruising google and found a couple kits that were around 20 bucks. they sure are simple. might as well get it too. it wont be until tax return season till i get any of this but when i do there will be a thread on it :naughty: or at least some pics up on this one. along with anything else i do on it. wish i had pics of the timing belt before i fixed it (and other misc things). thanks for all the input on this.

runnercam, I am in the same boat as you!

I am looking at the two kits you linked. One is cheaper, but I don't see a steering stabilizer in that kit.
