Mike, don't trash your rig 'till you've to chop it! I really love full bodied SASed 4Runners like mine, they're too much nice to chop!

haven't flexed it out yet, so we'll see... i plan on bring the axle forward an inch on the perches, so that should help a little. more cutting might be in order.

well if cutting was necessary before... it's even more necessary now.

redid the front leaf pack this weekend. ended up bringing the front down 2" or so, which was my goal. spring rate feels pretty good so far too, maybe a little softer than before. shackle angle is pretty lazy now, so the front hanger might need to be cut off and moved forward... leaving it for now though. leaf pack goes as follows:

TG 5" HD 1st
TG 5" HD 2nd
Toyota rear 1st, cut down
Toyota rear 2nd, cut down
TG 5" HD 5th
TG 5" HD 6th

before:

after:






also added some D-rings to the front bumper a few weeks back...



next weekend that rear gets some attention...
