I dig it. I am looking at doing this myself maybe later this year. I can't wait to see how the stance turns out once you roll it out and the springs settle a little.

Does any one know if i can switch the power steering lines that go between frame the frame rails at the bottom of my radiator to soft lines instead of hard?

You could but the hard lines act as coolers for the fluid. On the 4cyls they used a looped piece of hard lin
e but on the v6 the hard lines you speak of take care of that.

I like the idea...Just make sure the lines and radiator can handle the psi of the pump. The stock pump puts out about 1300 psi @ 1 Gal per min.

Old thread here talks about it, post 10 seems to have some good info: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f123...diator-101806/

reading about all the sas's makes me feel more comfortable about buying an IFS and later doing the swap. lets see some pics of it after it has settled a week and flexed a little. Still hoping to find a nice 85 ex cab

keep us posted

There was just a little trimming of some supports off the grille and the black corner things that are under the head lights but i already had my mechanic tell me he wants to put that grille on his truck.
