I have a 85 toyota pickup 4x4 with a 8 inch lift and i want to come down to a 4 inch suspension lift. what is a good suspension lift that comes with everything and were to buy it at? I had found a pro comp for 596 on sale from 800 and went to buy it and i cant find it anymore. your input would be appreciated.

i didnt put it on there the previous owner did and lets just say it isnt the best job in the world (half the reason why it is coming off). i think he screwed something else up to when he put it on. while driving down the road for no reason the truck will jerk across the road but doesnt always do it just sometimes??? it looks like the rear-end isnt on correctly. so im not driving it untill i get the new lift and figure out what the hell that moron did.

Hey, at least you're taking it off
hmmm, I'm not sure if the rear end would cause the truck to jerk spontaneously, what makes you think it isn't on correctly? If you can, post up some pics and I'm sure someone on here can point out what's wrong if that's the case.
BTW, welcome to yotatech!

Allpro has some cool kits for your solid axle and I think Downey might make some springs for the front and rear.
