Angle shims will help out your pinion angle too.
The 5" Sky-Jacker Soft ride springs I bought for my 82 had angle shims on it. It's a much cheaper way to do it.

Make sure you are running a high pinion diff or transfer case or both to have the front driveshaft workable.Otherwise shimming or removal of front leafs is what I did to mine.

Is there really ay need for a solid front axle in Hawaii? I didn't see any boulder fields while I was there, just some dusty backroads that IFS would have done fine on. Where do you wheel in Hawaii?
By the way, that is a very clean looking setup there.

here you need permission and a key to be invited and a str8 front Toyota to get there.

Well apparently they are out of alot of things, I am tryin to order my 3" sas kit and everyone in the country appears to be out of the 3" leafs, so I may have to go with the 4" as well. What size tire are you planning on running?

I tried to reply to your PM, but it wouldn't let me PM you? I might be interested in your CV's and possibly your front diff depending on gears and if it's locked or open?

not so good, i ordered the driveshaft kit from trail gear. they are starting to piss me off though they keep shorting me parts. they didnt send the rear u bolt brackets, so i had to make my own. everything is on back order with them
