K so everyone else has posted a sas on there trucks and runners so i thought maybe i would too. my 4runner is of the 1993 make and has about 209,000 miles on it with a worn out 3.0. this is my first major project on my runner. we started on the swap about a week ago but it is taking time due to having to work..

The one getting the swap is the green one.

 

Wrong section, I will move this for you.
The tech staging area is for completed tech articles.

 

ok thanks corey. by the way the rear is almost done and i will be posting alot more pictures tommorow. alot has gotten done in the last couple days. i think i made a mistake picking 37x14.50 tires to put under my runner...

 

By the way how does everyone like the way we do sas here in washington...ON the trailer

 

Pics or it isn't happening.

 

Ok wabbit here you go

some frame grindage

Here is the last time you will see a four link in the back of my runner

 

So ok that was last week. Here are some new one's from this week and yesterday

I was really worried after seeing the tires on the rear...

here are some more pics

 

So saturday i will be renting the big welder to finish welding all the fabrication together. I just dont trust the 110 welder to hold it all together. So this weekend will be spent fininshing up painiting, welding, trimming metal cleanly, and checking flex. I am very picky on how my vehicles look when they are lifted. They have to be very clean and look almost stock, but lifted of course.

 

1,2" block?

are the chevies from a newer one 2wd silverado?
look like mine, an im not sure if my pickup will need a block or not for 37s

 

Looking good man!

Could you still move your rear axle back to maybe help out with the clearance?
You will definitely have to lose that rear bumper IMO..

BTW get the front end on the ground i wanna see how it sits! I have some chevys waiting for mine..

 

OK the blocks in the back are 2". I think that the runner will sit level when the front springs settle. the rear bumper will be going just not sure when. since the last pictures i have posted we have moved alot around. i will post those next. the leaf springs are out of a 1997 chev 2wd 1/2 ton.

 

ok so here are some of the new pictures
here it is!!!

side view


Its really important to me .....How does it look? tires look to big????

The back tires are close to the front of the fenderwell due to an offset block. since this picture we have moved the hangers and shackles back more. the rear tire dosent look that stuffed under there so much now.

plus we flexed it out and i am not worried to much about rubbing in the rear. it looks like i can make these tires work.

 

that thing is bad ass

good job

 

this is my ride to work for now LOL

 

I did this conversion to my 91 4runner. I'm running 12" springs with 2" blocks in the back and 10" springs in the front. I'm thinking of going back to coils in the rear. You did a clean job with the swap. What size tires and wheels are you running?

 

Looks like a dang tank. You should be satisfied with the look.

 

what 12 inch springs are u running?do you have any pix?are they 63 inchers?

 

Hey man that thing looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those tires do look pretty massive....
And i can't wait to get my chevy on the back now!

Pics???

 

ok here are some pics of the rear springs. i just ordered a u bolt flip kit today and some new blocks until i figure out what i want to do to get more lift without blocks


another of the rear

Damn nice looking Runner! Looks like nice work there..
