ifs rear end swap??

ok i know its 3 inches wider but will i have to make new shock mounts and do a u bolt flip? also i found a cheap one off a 92 4 runner. if the 4 runner is a v6 that means i wont be able to put the 3rd member with my 529s off the stock 4 cyl rear end on to the new v6 one right?

4cyl and V6 thirds are compatible. So yes you can put your third in there.

The 4Runner rear will have a lot of brakets for the suspension (since it is a coil suspension) so yes you will need to weld on new spring perches. You may or may not be able to use the factory shock mounts.

heck just swap in the link suspension. That would be kinda cool. You will probably have to use OME springs the factory ones wil be saggy.
