I dont know if you can pull it off, but buy the trail gear 3in lift springs.
Then pull off your old stuff and sell it on CL.

If not your going to have to take out 2 leafs or more and smaller shckles.

I have been down this road with the tires, I had to put on fender flares. Sucks.
Good luck

Truck sits low enough now with the 34's on. Just looks wrong imo.

Will do leaf springs in the near future.

Skydog1

Well Im not sure how but I seen to have snapped my clutch pedal in half. Anyone done this before? I found it kinda odd. Haha

JonnyBoy

The bracket the pedal mounts to and pivots on, or the pedal itself?

Skydog1

The Pedal itself and the bracket is cracked. Haha

JonnyBoy

Interesting. The bracket is a known problem, search "clutch bracket fatigue" and you can see lots of peoples' fixes for it. The pedal isn't something I've heard of, though. Should be easy enough to plate and weld it, though.

Skydog1

Yup plated and welded the pedal already. Trucks got over 300,000 miles on it, things like this happen I guess. Lame though I have to order that bracket from online, and it isnt cheap..

It will be some time before that piece gets fixed. Going to order all my new junk at once, waiting on the cash for it.

Whats coming next-
* That bracket that broke
* 3 inch springs
* Optima redtop
and some lighting..

Pulling some leafs from the rear 63's
Tomorrow if I get around to it im going to put those sliders on that have been laying around for months

I had a 94 t100 that had the clutch bracket fatigue. Messed with the clutch for a few days until i looked under the dash at the clutch bracket and it was cracked out like a spiderweb. Replaced it with a updated one from toyota and it worked like a champ.

Only way i would ever figured it out was online, similar problem.As much as i hate technology sometimes its for a good cause. toyotas.

Not sure if you've seen it, but Toyospearo has a pretty sweet SAS setup on his truck. It looks pretty close to 2-3 inches of lift and I think he DD's it. Check out his SAS thread.. Maybe it'll help!

Skydog1

Ill check it out thanks for letting me know!

My buddys truck we have been working on and the carnage from last nights icy backwoods.

The Ranger went head on into a parked k5 blazer at 45mph that was broken down with a blown rear end on a blind corner. We couldn't get the ranger to start, after going over everything twice we gave up and went home. Came back this morning and withen 15 minutes we figured out that the truck had a emergency fuel shut off switch underneath the dash

Ranger is totaled
Chevy broke a headlight cover

Also a picture of my last truck. 97 limited, mint condition 4runner. I mean mint! Until I hit a tree and rolled it, thing still started and drove home after being upside down for 4 hours... Never got pictures of the accident I was too upset with myself

Roark

How's the ranger look? All I see is a bedless 2nd gen pickup, the Blazer, and your 4runner.

Must've been an awesome truck, though, that 4runner. Sorry for your loss

Skydog1

The picture you see is the Ranger, not a blazer. And someday I will have myself another 4runner, they are awesome!

Roark

Oh, dang. I've got it in my head that all rangers look like the newer curvy one. My bad!

Skydog1

No worries

Skydog1

Curious when removing a body lift what do I need for the body mounts afterwards

thatfeller

Try sears brand instead of optima cheaper and last as long or longer

Skydog1

I already got the optima brand but thanks

Roark

In case you still wanted an answer, you shouldn't need more than new bolts for the same frame mounts.. That's how my cousin's was. Just some blocks with different bolts. I'm sure someone could go into more depth, but that's all I got!

Roark

Sorry- double posted
