The static alignment is fixed using the adjustable bar.

However, the funny wiggle during articulation isn't fixed by the adjustable bar. A drop bracket or a horizontal (fabricated) bar is needed to eliminate the wiggle.

It won't lay flat because the truck has been lifted. When stock (top half of pic) the two mounting points are level with each other. Since it is lifted the mounting points are offset so the stock bar will be at an angle (bottom half of pic) and this will drag the axle off to the right side. The adjustable bar won't lay flat either but will allow you to adjust it's length to re-center the axle. Look at the bottom half of the pic I posted. That bar is stock length and you can see that the axle is off center to the right. Now if that was the adjustable bar, I can extend the ends which will increase the distance between the two mounting points which will push the axle back towards it's "proper" positioning.

What color markings are on your Tundra springs?

I'd personally go with the ones with the most wraps, or the longer ones. Course, you'd have to take them off the shocks first. You'll need to use your top-plates anyways.

Might as well use a top-out spacer as well, while you're in there.

The rear landcruiser coils lift the rear end of 2nd gen 4runners, you can try to sell them again.

The 4x4 springs should be longer, and give you more lift. However, I don't think these guys give you so much lift that you wouldn't want to add a top-out spacer.

So is the top out spacer that little white spacer or are you refering to a spacer lift? Where could a guy pick one up if it's the little white one. I looked on Steves site and he dosent sell lift componets seperatly.

thanks, but I wasn't expectiong spacers to cost that much. I paid less for my Tundra coils and my LC coils. Maybe I'll have to spend the $ I saved on those.

wasn't there a thread on DIY spacers a while back? Someone cut them out of a 12"x12" composite sheet ot somthing?

uummm..maybe you were looking at a different set of spacers. look for the TOE-2 spacers at the link below. you can order these without the extended studs (if you already have them) at a lesser price.

or you can fabricate from abs hdpe sheets that you can buy from professionalplastics.com or from mcmaster-carr.

and yes, there was a thread on the DIY thing.
