Shackle Angles

lgarduno · 09-01-2009, 05:32 PM

I have a 95 4Runner with the 3.0. I am adding a 4" TG front and 5" TG Rear. So I got the front done and have the leafs in the back hung. But my question is that there is too much angle on the shackles. I placed the front mount 1.5" behind the square hole in the frame, and the rear shackle mount 6" from the end of the frame per the Trail Gear instructions. I think I need to move it back, but let me know what you think. I will create a Build-up as soon as I finish the rear. Thanks

did the instruction take into account the extra wieght of the 4runner? is it instructions for a pickup?

I got the dimensions of where to place them from Scotty at Addicted Offroad. Here is a link to where I double checked them from Trail Gear. It was performed on a 4 door 2 gen 4Runner like I have. http://www.trail-gear.com/vbulletin/...ead.php?t=5153 I think the different angles is from the camera because in person they both look like the driver side pic. I also have an e-mail in with Scotty and I will let you all know what he says about them. Thanks again for the help.
