Any pics or thoughts on frenching rear spring hangers on a 2nd gen 4Runner?
I am wrapping up my SAS swap on the front of my 92 4Runner, and I am starting to contemplate the leaf-spring conversion for the rear... I am trying to keep this as LOW as possible, hopefully a frame height of 20-22" at most, or about 2" lift.
Not sure what springs I should use yet, but I am thinking about frenching in the rear spring hangers with something like these -

and using DOM frame tubes for the rear shackle hangers
I can see I will have to at the very least remove the fuel tank for installing these, and maybe slide it over a little to clear, but other then that I think this might be a good way to help keep the height down.
What springs would you all try? Chev springs are on my mind, but not sure...

Thanks for the tip - What kind of lift did you end up with? I am trying to keep it down around 2" or so. Also, what is the width on those - Same as the chevys?
