    4Crawler can hook you up. Its around $60 with new hardware.

    This will help to re-center your axle, and move the Drive shaft away from the gas tank.

    OK guys so I finally finished the lift, this is what I used.
    1993 FJ80 LandCruiser Springs for the back
    Panhard Drop Bracket for the track bar to get the drive shaft center again
    1 1/2 inch ball joint spacers in the front
    For the shocks I used Procomp ES9000 4inch lift all around
    Procomp brake extensions for front and rear, they are made by Earls got them off of ebay

    The truck drives fine now and looks sick will have some pics after camping this weekend!!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Tundra rear springs leafs, that would be very interesting. So no, I think not.

    That depends on what you think a good daily driver is. They don't get the greatest gas mileage. The saying goes V8 gas mileage with V6 power. I love mine and drive it more now that I've regeared it. It handles fine and is comfortable for a DD, mainly it's the gas mileage thing that might be a problem for a DD.

    Actually, the saying is V8 economy with 4 cyl power

    I think this is the set up I am going to go with. If things go through well, I will have a set of FZJ LC rear coils from a 97. How do the Procomp's ride for you?

    Current pricing on Option 2 is $535 at trdparts4u. I just finished installing it, and feel it's more than 2" of lift.

    I was searching for some fj80 rear coils for my '91 4runner and I stumbled across "Coil-Rite 4124 Air Springs for 91-93 94 Toyota Landcruiser" I'm assuming they are just air bags. Anyone know if they'll work on a runner? I like the price for about $100 shipped.
