cool. what axle are you using? rebuild it and put the armor on it now while it is off the truck.
and since you are doing a T-G kit you might find this info helpful...
Front Spring Hanger Placement: (when using longer than stock springs like Trail Gears)

He can't with the 3" springs. In fact, he needs to mount it 1/4" back of the front crossmember for a decent shackle angle and to have the tie rod and draglink clear each other on compression. Otherwise he'll be having to move the steering box forward.
I have all of these lifts down to a science at this point.
3" springs: 1/4" in back of the frame. Push the frame tube jig all the way forward in the body mount.
4" Springs 1/2" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount
5" springs 3/4" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount

I just installed the TG kit on my truck. I was extremely happy with the kit.
What are you doing for the rear? One other thing to remember, you will have to make your a new driveshaft.
There are some pictures here https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f152/rage-s-sas-169024/
If you have questions let me know. The install is still kinda fresh in the brain..lol..

Wow, a local Havasu Toyota guy. 
Too bad you're ditching the IFS club.
Nice looking truck. I don't think I've seen it around before.
Have you been to that new junkyard in Bullhead? "All good junkyard" I think it's called? I'm wondering what kind of Toyota's they have laying around in there.

Ah, I was just working in Mohave Valley today, down Boundary Cone Road. I don't think I was too far away from that yard. I don't see any older Toyota's in the pictures though.

Nice I got my 85 4 runner axle for $200 with the springs.
However urs looks a little less rusty.
Nice job though.
Are you gonna do the creeper ball gussets too?
