Mod fever...I am getting lifted

Currently en route to Nrgetic World HQ.

4 Bilstein shocks

1 set of front 2" Cornfeds

1 pair of rear Downey lift springs (plus 2-2.5")

1 pair of 'Super Stevie' rear bumpstops


Still unable to order..

1 pair of Nuke front Disco's (Nuke man, answer your email)

Still on the bubble

1 pair of front SAW's.

4 265/75/16 Dueller A/T's or maybe BFG's


BTW, If I weaken and get the SAW's, I will have an unused pair of Billys and some 2" Cornfeds for sale

Other than that, my credit card company loves me every time they check my statement

AAHHH!! Lift specs are music to my ears. All I have to say is go for the Sway a Way high tech Pogo stick front lift the first time. I had a chance to drive a pair of "97 Runners on the trails Saturday. One had a spacer front lift and stock springs, one had SAWs. Both were at 22 PSI tire pressure, although they were different tires. The SAW truck was WAY smoother on the fire roads at about 20-25 mph. There really is no comparison. I'm convinced that you get what you pay for with the SAW.

Don't forget to legnthen the panhard rod or you might be having contact between the driveshaft and gastank skidplate!!

Thanks Matt.

I think I will just buy a new one from Toyota (I get dealer cost) and extend it. It seems the cleanest way and very reversible.
I had a great idea about cutting one, inserting a threaded insert and then adding a heim one end. OTT I know but would be adjustable +/- 1/2" each way.

Anyone still have the calcs on how much to lengthen it ?
