what's up with the axle's being different lengths?
or is one just hyper-extended in the inner joint

I don't know what i'm doing to the rear. The leafs that are on there are trashed. They have a "negative arch" if that explains it. I think i'm going to sit on it for a while and search craigslist and race-dezert for a deaver pack.. or

He happened to have a used set of T100 axles laying around... he just hooked me up with them (well at a discount anyway) cause he had no use for them and they were used...

Im probably gonna use a 3" leaf spring from trail-gear with some custom shackles for my 4runner. Probably put the springs under the axle with some weld on brackets and a u-bolt thing from total chaos.

why would you do a SUA swap, lol?
you would be at stock height again with the 3" springs, so that would be pointless.
Also, aalbo, you should check out the chevy 63" spring swap..
They're much larger springs so they'll flex alot better, but they'll be smoother when you land a jump too.
more arch = harder spring.

Some pics of the my rig before Blazeland LT
These are some recent pics of my rig.... the hill in the pics is a lot steeper than it looks. My inclinometer was past the 30 degree mark... about maybe 35 to 40 degrees....
