86 toyota truck front suspension
 
i have a 86 toyota truck. i'm looking for ideas how to build up my front suspenion. i use it for plowing snow. no road use at all. its far from being street legal. when i pick up the plow it squats BAD! so any idea is not crazy as long you think it will work. so please give me a idea.,,

UPDATE; thanks for all replies. there all good but, i don't care how it rides. it can ride like a lumber wagon... i doesn't not leave my yard. i just don't want it to squat when i pick up the plow. i was thinking about putting metal pipe in place of the shocks?

Crank up the torsion bars.

crank torsions or go with the thicker sway-a-way torsions.

thicker torsions would be better.

and prolly some HD shocks with better valving.

more aggressive valving=stiffer shock=better load handling...right?

V6 bars are supposed to be more HD...

I would not crank them up...

Downey had forged bars, not the cast like Sway-a-way and others.

Not necessarily that that's a good or bad thing, because the ride could be harsh. But for your plow, I wouldn't worry about it.

Some say Jim still has stuff. I'd message him or look around. You might still be able to find a pair.

EDIT: IIRC, the OME's were either 1mm smaller, or 1mm larger than stock... But they were designed for ride and flex. To my knowledge, not a duty cycle like holding up a snow plow.

If you can't find thicker T-bar might want to consider some sort of coilover shock to assist stock T-bars. Probably give you more options.

no one make a direct replacement coilover for the IFS trucks, might have to make your own mounts.

but that's a good idea.
