Ball Joint Spacers?!?!
First post
So ive got a 1993 pickup v6 5 speed. Id like some kinda small lift to fit 32's. Currently running 30's. gearing is 4.56.
So im thinking 2.5" ball joint spacers on the front and 3" lift blocks on the rear leafs. Trucks mainly for road us and the odd logging road/super light trail. Or would I be better to go with a body lift 3" or so??? Help me out haha. Im new to Toyotas, this is my first pickup. Loving it so far!!
The spacers/blocks seems to be a real good budget set up!
Thanks!

A 2" bodylift would be plenty, but will not improve the suspension any. I went with 1.5" balljoint spacers up front and 6" marlin shackles in back for more flex. Longer shocks can help even more but are not needed. I have a 2" body lift also and can fit 33-35" tires

I clear 33's with 1.5 body lift and 1.5 ball joint spacers and what is called ZUK mod in the rear. I would not recommend going over 2'' body lift. Not worth it. Stretches stuff a little too much IMO. Also, I had 3'' body lift on when I rear ended a Chevy half ton doing only about 10mph in the snow, shoved the whole body back a little bit and the front clip pushed back a couple inches. Wish I had pics to explain, but I ended up winching it back and some of the body/frame mounts did line up with out a BFH. I cut the 3'' blocks in half and put them on instead.

Ball Joint vs. Torsion Bars vs. CV Joints
I'm on a '90 XCab V6 with 33x12.5 locked front and rear. The current suspension is a 1.5" block in rear and cranked torsion bars in front. I would love a little more flex front and back without an SAS or starting to break CV joints. I've busted axle shafts, hubs, steering, etc but only one CV and like keeping it that way.
Thinking about 1.5 ball joints in front and lowering torsion a bit to get a little more flex. Wondering about angles on CV joints.
Also thinking about 6" shackles in rear with the stock springs and removing blocks.
Any thoughts? Is this worth it, or basically same ˟˟˟˟? Thanks!
