are those just for the center diff/BLT setup right? Either way they look sick.

 

The axles I am showing are the ones I designed to work with the the Blazeland Long Arm kit and a 7.5 Center Mount Differential with a 4" Drop Bracket kit. I also built a prototype bracket kit to bolt the differential into place. Its still in the testing phase, but so far things are looking good.

 

7.5" supra diff? or is it possible to modify the truck IFS diff for center mount?

would those axles work with an 8" supra diff?

 

How did I miss this thread?!? Time to add another thing to the to do/dream list . . . great work guys

Yep, plenty of room for the diff with my 7MGE. Here's a pic from my swap thread

 

took my good old 85 out for a work party

2 words for that 4runner TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

 

started working on a upper a arm jig. I am going to build a + 5 upper arm. My first attempt will be to build off of a factory arm. i did a mock-up using some random pieces of plywood.[IMG][/IMG] .

 

figuring how much lift i need to get the ball joint at proper angle.[IMG][/IMG]

 

using the arm as a temp-let to drill the jig makes life easy.[IMG][/IMG]

 

first hole.[IMG][/IMG]

 

I found that my mock up plywood jig worked well for some more drilling.[IMG][/IMG]

 

my jig will not match my existing a arm . i was maxed out on my alignment cams with the top of tire still tipping out very slightly.So i am going to shorten the a arm by 3/8 of an inch. All-so i am going to add some more caster <move the ball joint back about 1/2 inch>. [IMG][/IMG]

 

ball joint spacers make a nice temp-let.[IMG][/IMG]

 

Its fun designing new stuff, keep up the good work! I am interested in seeing how you will interface the factory crossshaft with the poly bushings into your new arms. The way the bushings fit into the factory steel shells is unique. Creating custom bushings may not be an option. I approached energy suspension to have some reproductions made for the discontinued Rancho arms and unless I was ordering them in the thousands it was a dead end. You might want to press the steel shells out of a pair of factory UCAs and weld them into some tube? Or find some universal bushings and design the fitment around the universal bushings. Maybe forgo using the factory crosshafts and use some some hiem joints and weld some tabs to the frame? I was wanting to tear into the Downey or TC design and see how they did the bushings on the factory crossshafts but decided to stick with the factory bushing design to keep cost and ease of servicable / replacable componants user friendly.

 

I was looking at my CADD file of the UCA Extension Brackets and could revise it to meet your specifications. I drew a +4" UCA a while back that turned out nice. Drawing a +4.625" with a .500" back and a 2.000" drop shouldn't be a problem. I would charge you the standard $200 for the brackets themselves and a CADD drafting fee. My CADD rate is $85 an hour. It should take me about an hour to draw it up and another hour to convert the file to work with the laser cutter and to do the coordination.
