tons of people have them... i have them on my 4x2 they were quite easy to install, took me about 20 minutes per side if that..... however, my instal was easier than the instal on a 4x4 from what i have been told, you dont need to modify the a arm on a 4x2 as the 4x4s need....

check out www.sdori.com for info

you can get the bj spacers from them directly or from one of their vendors... i know www.trdparts4u.com has them as well as www.4crawler.com (roger brown)

i have dealt with frank of sdori and roger brown of 4crawler and both guys are great guys.....

they are great, work great, easy to instal, if you are comfortable with the ol cutoff wheel or grinder....cut out the chunk, bolt em in, and there you go...

ah a drawback is you will need an alignment afterwards...... other than that, they are awesome.... sdori pioneered the idea, and it is good stuff, their stuff is high quality and holds up to repeated abuse (trust me, i abuse my truck, and also log a lot of miles on it too)

Some people have had rubbing between their shocks and lower bumpstop. I have skyjacker nitros on my 94 runner and had to break out the grinder again for the bumpstops.

No, I have not installed a diff drop. I don't have any problems with my set-up now, but I may take another look at them. Seems like it could be a good idea.

No diff drop here. They are great--allowed my front end to move up and down like it should.
