1980 Toyota
Going to use her for surf fishing trips on PINS.It has 4 rancho rs5000 shocks on it. I think the springs are wore out as it rides rough as heck. Any ideas for a bolt-on 3" suspension lift(no welding preferred)?

It looks like you already have a lift. If it's stiff, I'm betting it's Rancho, as well.

You're right Nico,I'd like to get a smoother ride and still have the 3" lift that I have now.The front springs seem to be a little flat to me. The ride may improve once I put the yak rack,winch,etc. on it. Thanks!

The whole bed is fabbed with the old bed lower and the upper half is all storage on both sides. I think the new dodge trucks are going to have the same idea... I've had this set up for the past 8 years and works great for putting all your tools/parts in one side and gear in the other so the wet doesn't get at it. Plus they lock too which is really nice.

Did anybody see the first gen on Xtreme 4x4 today? All the Jeep were making fun of it, calling it ugly and stuff. But the owner said "Jeeps are cute, Barbie drives one." His 'ugly', 20R powered beast got more air time than all of those Heeps. haha
My daughter even noticed the trucks

Haha. I've seen it twice, and noticed them in every shot. Even my friend that I was watching it with asked if I had noticed them. He's not even a Yota guy, he just knows I am. But I give him props for the AWD Beamer.

I would like to see how you did it and with what parts.
Looks like a clean factory job!
