why is it that toyota put that there? what purpose does that bar serve on an axle that gets used less than half of the time?

drivability on road .. and spring wrap in 4WD .

this unit is basically a " stock type " mall princess ... i'm building it for my son's 16th B-day .. but he'll probabally get my old truck

I love that truck .. but .. so far .. 33's are what the plan is .









ohh .. and thought I would mention ..

thanks ... wish I could have taken more pics .

no , i'm going to stay with the original rears I think ? .. or I was thinking maybe rear disc brakes .... havent decided .

I was talking to a buddy that just did the fronts , and he has had no issues , no problems , and it stops much better the stock .. so I might just stay with those .
