i was told by a toyota mechanic here in nashville that i can use T100 front end stuff like Tie rods a-arms and a few other things to lift my 86-87 4runner... is this true... if so whats the parts i would need? thanks! (i hope im in the right thread for this, dont wanna get x-ed out again haha)

 

i think that the toyota mechanic was probably smoking some pretty good stuff.
theres some serious differences in T100 and minitruck front ends..

 

The A-arms and front diffs are exactly the same. I don't know how you would use those to 'lift' your truck. The CV's are longer, the knuckles and spindles are the same and the tie rods might be the same with a longer relay rod? but maybe not. Still don't see any lift by using these parts though.
