1997 Tacoma. 3" bl. (Performace Accessories,I know I should have bought one from roger brown).
Does anyone know of any step-by-step write-ups for the Performance accessories Body lift online? I figured there must be some out there but I have had no luck locating any. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
The body is lifted, I'm welding the xfer case linkage tonight, but am kind of confused on how to lift the radiator. I will figure it out but if there was a writeup w/ pics it would be a great help.

 

You can purchase the radiator drop brkts. from 4Crawler Offroad separately ($20 for the set) or you can just use some existing holes in the core support to lower it about 2" or drill 4 new holes and lower it 3":

Quite a few of the 4Crawler body lift kit parts go into trucks that have other brand body lifts. The majority are steering shaft extensions to replace broken or unuseable PA extensions. Will be shipping a set of T100 lift blocks next week for a guy who wants to replace his 2" PA blocks.

 

Thank you for the information Mr. Roger Brown. I finished everything tonight, welding the xfer linkage (what a pain in the a$$), re-adjusting the auto transmission link. All is good to go now except for the raditor relocation. I just took off the lower fan shrowds. Roger, do you believe removing the shrowds will cause my 2.7 to overheat?

 

the PA kit comes with radiator drop brackets.....

 

Jimabena, yes I realize this. I just haven't had the time to put it together and am wanting to drive my truck to work this week. Also, the PA drop brackets are very generic, I need to cut off some catch hooks on my radiator and re-drill the holes. Not hard. I also have lost a shrowd clip which is another reason I'm asking about driving without lower shrowds.

 

i had the PA kit, it took 5 minutes to do the drop, and did not require modification of the shroud.....

 

Time will tell, watch the engine temps and if it starts running hotter than normal, fix it. You do lose cooling efficiency without the shroud in place, but if you start with more cooling capacity than you need, it may still be good enough.

 

thank you Mr. Brown.
