Honestly I'm not sure. It does had 2 tabs one the sides that allow it to bolt on to the front bumper. And 2 more on the bottom where it attaches to the front 2 skid plate bolts. You would need to drill through your stock bimper and use a nut and bolt to hold it onto the front side.
Here you can see the tabs where it bolts to your bumper.

Holy cow that thing is sexy! Reminds me of mine too! 
Really diggin those rims. Thats not a bad price for what he has invested into it. Dang.... wish my brother had the money for that truck lol
Just checked out the fresno Craigslist. Wow you guys got some sick looking rigs out there!!! AND FOR MUCH CHEAPER THEN US L.A GUYS CAN GET! I think i'm gonna have to keep a look out for a good 4door 4runner with a bunch of mods for my older bro. That is what he is searching for. but his price range isnt too too high. IF we find something in his price range i definitely don't mine making a road trip to go pick it up!

We do have a lot of them mostly clean stock ones. But I was talking about trucks already fixed up with gears, lockers, armor, dual transfer cases, winch etc etc... We don't usually get those in our area. And when we do they ask some ridiculous amount. Well acceptable if u wanna sell the truck for everything you put into it but when do you ever get your full investments from a truck back when u sell it??? Lol

NOW I get what you did and why...
Good job with the fab work!
I've been kinda just watching yours and Mark's hard work without comments because it's not my cup of tea, but I'm still here watching and cheering you on!

I noticed the U bolt flip kit? Did you reposition shock mounts.

I didn't have to make custom cables. The extensionsvwere long enough for me to be able to still use the stock cables.
Yea. We mounted the left side on the front and the right one on the rear side. Well not me but my neighbour did.
Lucky you. I wish we had what you guys have up there. If that were the case I'd probably buy dual transfercases.

Hey tuef, here's some more pix of how the shocks mount to the axle.

After taking these pix i realized i missed a few spots with the black paint lol. I need to go over it near the spring perches because you can still see that primer lol

Lol Toyo, I know it looks huge! those things were heavy and hard to install lol. But dont mind that very bottom fat overload spring. that one doesnt do anything for me other then give me 1/2" more lift lol
The only thing that made a difference is the extra leaf i installed in between the leaf pack. that was to give it more arch for lift. So far it has worked like a charm. It is really level now since ive done that. it has gone down just a tad bit but it still looks level
