Thumbs up Got my lift components

I'm finally ready to go on my lift. I've got Revtek spacers for the front already installed on stock coils and shocks. For the back I've got Downey 3.5" coils and OME N86 shocks which just showed up today. I've also got the home grown OSH diff drop kit.

Everything but the OMEs I bought off of Breezy who hardly used them before going with Pro-Comp in the front and converting the rear to leaf springs. By the way, his rig is SWEET!

I hope to do the install this weekend. I'm planning on taking lots of pics. The only thing I don't have is a panhard drop bracket. Anyone got one floating around that they want to sell?

You are getting on up there ain't you? Will that give you an actual 3.5" in the rear? What about the front? I'm telling Val....

lol... They will give about 2.5 in the rear... I have the tundra coils and HD bilsteins already - read Ivan Stewart TRD pkg. They were supposed to be off of a Taco, but they don't fit...

I'm getting a 2.5" cornfed spacer to top them off so they will work on the 4Runner upper shock mount. The brush guard I have on the front should weight down the front enough to make the ride tolerable... lol

here's the latest and greatest... this is with a 1" cornfed in the rear to level it out some. it had a little sag.

Ummm... Let's see, you already have 2" and are adding 2.5 more plus you're on 285's...

I'll have 2.5" total on 265/75's...

When are you adding the ladders/sliders to that thing???

Oh, and when are you gonna wheel that thing??? lol... We need to find a good powerline to "test things"

My next door neighbor just bought a nice 85 4x4 Toyota truck with 3" susp lift and 3" body lift with 44" mud boggers. He also busted his Detroit locker Saturday going up a dirt hill. It's a nice looking ride and now I have someone to shoot the Toyota 4x4 mod til I'm broke breeze with just right next door. YAHOOOO!

I bought one of those roll up and drop rescue ladders at Lowe's last weekend for emergency exits for my wife!

Next up after the OMEs are on and the lift height is firmed up.....SLIDERS baby!

SLIDERS

After my final this Friday, I'll have the next month to get the sliders done hopefully. You and I will have to have a measurement pow wow since yours will be a tad different than mine. I'm ready to stop falling out of my rig!
