88_Red_Runner's Tired Of IFS...
#21
I know you already said hybrid rear pack, but what's your spring pack? I'm assuming it's at least the top couple leafs from your '88 rear pack, so what else? Could I maybe see some pics of your steering box setup, too? Just trying to stay kinda low on mine when I do it, too, so it'd be nice to see how you've done it and if you run into clearance issues. Thanks man, and the ride height looks good so far.

Well, I could not help my self today. I took her for a shake down run with no shocks. Kind of muddy out. Got a little warm up north here. She rides like a dream. Hate the front bump stops. Going to order some softer ones on the a.s.a.p. Love the power with the 5.29 gears and the 3.4 liter. Geared a little under for 35's, but gets to the point quick.

If you all have not noticed, I have to run 2" wheel spacers in the front to match the width of the rear Tacoma axle. They are still hub centric. The brakes still have some air in the lines. I will be removing the LSPV and putting on the T100 brake booster.

I bet lol. The Runner handles pretty well it sits low and pretty much rides on the bump stops. Damn IFS frames. Hard to get a lot of up travel without really hacking up the frame. But it is meant for snow wheeling and 4x4, not high speed rallying and jumping.

Thanks for the pics, that really clears up the mounting angle for me. I'll probably use the flat pitman arm I got as a just in case. I'll end up a little taller than yours cause I have a set of rear Old Man Emu leaf springs to use. I like your bumpstop mount, I think I might copy it.
Merry Christmas!

You can also pull a leaf, or move in some factory leaves in place of some OME's.
The bump stop mount seams to work well. However, I do not recommend the bump stops that I am using.
Keep tuned more to come soon.
