my 86 surf/4runner!

hey guys ill uplaod pictures of my 86 surf/4runner soon.today me and my brother inlaw went and baught some $115 ea leaf springs from repco here in new zealand.and i had about half a inch befor i put the new leafs in and wen i put the new ones in i had about six inches! or more and now it looks like its going to tip over lol.but im going to find some wheel spacers and hopfuly that will make it a bit more stable!.i had to tighten the torsion bars tho wich i didn't want to do but if i didn't it would look weird so my brother inlaw lifted the front about two inches at the front but i only tightend the torsion bar about half a inch or a little more so i wos suprized about that. and the front ifs isn't as bumpy as use sed it wos but i havn't taken it for a drive yet because the u bolts werent long enouth so i have to get some new ones to morrow and new shocks bcoos the shocks are to short for the new springs. but i have to get a job befor i get the new shocks because im to poor at the moment lols any one want to help me out with some new shocks?....ive found a pare of monroe shocks for $125 but i don't have that much money at the moment so yea.we hooked up a pioner radio and some house speekers i blew the speekers up so im going to buy some cheeps ones off my mate so sweet as and umm we fixed the door panel lights and the lights and things. anddd thats about it i fink??? theres a pic of it wen it was green as my display picture.i didn't expect my truck to be as high off the ground as they are at the moment so yea it looks a bit scary at the moment wont be going very fast arround corners lol .thats it for now i think? bye bye

You must have some serious rake with 6" lift springs in the rear and 2" lifted torsion bars...lol

I take it, you are learning English? If so keep at it.

88-Surf:

You need to learn Spacing!

Space out your sentences and paragraphs, and use punctuation and capitalization. Its very difficult to read your typing cause it looks like one GIANT run on sentence.

Thats prolly what all the guys mean lol.

btw, we do not know Repco, we have no GST, and we all hate you for having a straight axle surf. lol.

To upload pics, first you need to host them somewhere. Most people use Photobucket.com. Once hosted, you can post them here by clicking on the Mountain/Sun pic in the tool bar above your text, and fill in the required info.

Im pretty sure the surfs have IFS just like the 4runners/85-up pickups here. Its the hiluxes that have the solid front axle. He mentions turning up his torsion bars in the original post. :beer:
