anyone do this? like say silverado front springs/ f150 rear shocks (just throwing out names)

is it possible to peice together a lift kit for toyo pickups from other trucks?

 

a rear lift...

and i dont think silverados have front springs... if so, they would be like a coil over setup...

and if you wanna get shocks, why not just get new ones rather than some crusty old F150 shocks with unknown mileage???

 

What vehicle?

 

sure, junkyard toyotas for the front.

rear springs are a possibility.

don't redneck it too much.

 

sounds like you'd be interested in 63" chevy springs. here's a link with all the info you'd need http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...threadid=20665

 

I think you're talking about the chevy leaf springs for the rear of the pickup. On the front, you should have torsion bars, not springs. If you're looking for a cheap front end lift, you're probably better off with a ball joint spacer. If you have an older model, you may have leaf springs in front, but if its independent front suspension and not a solid axle, its torsion bars.

 

i said silverado and f150 just to make the point of just what i was talking about- ill look at the chevy rear springs... its IFS- any other trucks out there with a diff/ longer torsion bar to raise the front? i could get new shocks but what else would i need to lift the front, and any info on what brake lines would be long enough...

how high can you lift these with the stock driveshafts?

 

crank the t-bars/ bj spacers and get 63" Chevys or 57" Fords for the back...

search and ye shall find

 

imma pull a scuba right now...

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

downey makes higher strength torsion bars. Cranking the stock one gives you a terrible ride (but it can be done to give you about an extra inch and change of height for free in the front). I'd get the ball joint spacers, swap out the leaf springs, and get shocks. That should have you clearing 33's with good wheel backspacing pretty well. Like Space-Junk put it, all of this information can be easily found if you do some searching before you post a new thread to try and get your information. We Yotatech members are happy to answer your questions, but only if its evident that you put in the effort to find the information here yourself. We expect that of eachother here, so get used to a little if you ask questions like that. In fact, these questions have all been answered elsewhere. See what you come up with.

 

That was so not right, spacey......!
