my winter 4 link is done...what do you think?
I ripped out my 3 inch trail gear springs and added some 18 inch 2.5 sway away air shocks. I also had to put in an rci fuel cell in the bed and unfortunatly my turbo on halloween and I was getting coolant into my oil so I put a new motor in it and it still did the same thing so I ended up changing the turbo and that was the problem the whole time. I also threw a set of 4.7's in my rear case while the motor was out. The links are 2 inch, 1\4 wall DOM with trail gear joint....I have a lot of body roll now but after many different oil and nitrogen combinations Im pretty happy with the ride............
This is how I bought the truck
This is after the build over last winter
And this is during this winters overhaul
My only problem is steering and hub issues. I am welded in the front but Ive driven other welder toyotas and they are very easy to steer. I have perfect steering in 2wd but in 4wd I dont have full cut the the left. I have moved my box forward, changed whole front end and still no better. I dont think I shim my knuckles the correct way. I also have a problem with hubs not unlocking. The only was to get the hub gears out is to have someone cut the steering wheel back and forth while I work them out with 2 screw drivers. I dont know what it is but something is on a bind.

Super sweet man that rig is awesome i'd sell my right leg for that setup and gimp into the cab for the rest of my days, after installig a thumb throttle of course LMAO
I am running welded front too steering is sometimes a PITA but not too bad I am installing a 1.5" ram this weekend hoping that will correct it, after you mention left turns while locked up in 4wd that is a weakness in my toy as well.
One of my hubs was sticking in 4wheel drive so I took it apart and greased it up and everything started to work again. maybe one of your hubs as a fracture? and its binding up
