Can you post some pics of 89-94 pickups with bj spacers and tell me what you did for the rear lift

Buck01

I dont have pictures for you cause I dont have the BJ spacer on yet. I did however get the extended shackels on for the rear.

Pictures of the shakles?

I know this isn't the year you requested, but here is my '88 with bj spacers up front and a 1.5" lift shackle in the rear.

Top picture is with 32x10.50 tires (sorry I don't have any pics of it parked to get a good look at it).
The bottom picture is with 36x12.50 tires (they don't really fit, but my junk is getting SAS'd whenever I get around to it so I just stuck 'em on to see what it looks like).

Looks nice (aka fun ). Any downsides to the spacers?

BeaterToyota

The ball joints will wear out faster. I put new ones in a couple of years ago when I installed the spacers, and now both upper ones are shot. But I've also wheeled the crap outta my truck. A daily driver or a rig tht doesn't get wheeled much will be fine.

ok I got a ? on them too. how hard is it to align the truck after? I been thinking about them but been putting it off. Also how much did it actually lift the front?

Since my rig is just trail junk, I never got my alignment done. I still drive my rig to the trails though, and the tires are much more worn from trail abuse than they are from the (slightly) mis-aligned front end.

I don't remember how much lift I got 'cause it's been a couple years, but it was somewhere between 1.5" and 2".

Mine aligned OK although the guy at the shop said he maxed out the adjustment cams to get it within spec. Lift is kind of up to you. After I installed mine, I lowered the t bar adjustment til it was actually a bit LOWER than originally. My intent though was to gain articulation not lift. If/when I go to bigger tires I will have to make some adjustment.

Also here are some pics. I know it's not the right year or a truck but it is the same suspension.

Sorry this is the best I've got of it just on level ground, but I think you can get the idea.

BLKNBLU, those pics are with the 31's? Looks pretty sweet.

Yes, with 31's. Everything in the signature is still correct. Thanks.

Here is mine on 33's:



And on 31's:



For the rear, I added a few extra leaf springs.

hey myredyota how much pounding and cutting did you have to do so thoughs tires don't rub

myredyota

None! Those are my friend's tires that we were just trying on. They are SSR's and actually measured 33.5". We flexed it pretty well and still did fine. I will probably just go with 33x10.5 once my 31's wear out.

wiebs6

what was the backspacing and tread width on though SSR's

myredyota

3.75" and 12.5"

wiebs6

myredyota what are your fender to rim measurements

myredyota

16.5" front and only 14" in the rear with a topper on it. I do plan on doing a rear u-bolt flip. When I do that, I will be adding another leaf to level it out some more.
