they dont cost much go to 4crawler.com sway bar is a flash to take down with the right tools. i wouldn'd go more than 1.5 inch lift with bj's spacers ,unless you want to watch your cv joints tear up in a month or less.theyre not that hard to install its just the fact that you have to cut some of the metal underneith the upper a-arm,check out 4crawler its all in there.


and ho i almost forgot,make sure you got some manual hubs!!! really helped my cv's

Yeah i wanna switch over to manual hubs. how hard is it to switch?

And Yeah i looked at 4crawlers there not expensive at all. and my Uncle is a Welder and my Dad is a construction worker. Lol both have every tool i can dream having. I'm probably going to do that

I want to add chevy springs and get me a inch of two taller and a little more flex. but idk. i have Air bags with Coils around them in the back. But i wanna take out the Air bags and replace tem with Chevy SPrings.

What you think?

Switching to Manual hubs is so easy a monkey could do it. I say Go ahead and buy a solid front axle from an 80's toyota PU from the local pick and pull since you are going to do a SAS any way. Take off the AISIN locking hubs off and put them on what you have now. Then when you SAS it you just swap them back to the solid axle.

When you SAS it you should be different and do a front 3link on Coils. That would be sweet!! Just my opinion though for what it's worth. Not and expert by any means.

Putting Chevy Springs in a 4-runner with coil springs is going to be a bit more work that if it had leaf springs to begin with. Unless you are up for it. I notice that a lot of people are going with 3link for superior flex and running tall coils. You may want to go that route so less stuff you have to cut off and weld on. Maybe even try coil overs. Just a few thoughts.

Ummm.... The manual hubs from a solid axle will NOT fit your IFS axles! Longfield sells the inners that will allow you to use your IFS manual hubs on a solid axle though. The solid axle and 86-95 IFS manual hubs are not the same!

Sorry I forgot that the solid and the IFS hubs were different. Too little sleep and too much work makes for a cloudy brain. Some times there just to much information stored in the grey matter.
