I have an 85 Toyota pickup that is lifted with a v8. I noticed today while installing my winch that the front sits lower then the rear. I put a level on the frame and started jacking up the front end until it became level. I measured a 4" difference at the front bumper. I have a 3" suspension lift and a 3" body lift (to clear the trans) and running 37s. Not sure what kind of lift is in it but there are no blocks in the rear. I really like my clearance in the rear and would like the front to match. My front springs are almost flat with hardly any arch to them. I have been thinking about doing the rears up front to level it out but I am not sure if it will get me close enough. I guess I could to RUF and add some leafs if I had to. I have done some reading on this but don't know how much lift this will give me. Really looking for some help on this one.

 

With a v8, you will definitely want more leaves in a ruf. Rufs will not get you much lift, they are more for flex on a budget than for lift.

Sounds like some fresh 3" lift springs or possibly some 3" HD springs from Trail Gear might be what you need. Prime time to upgrade the front hanger if your still running the stock one too, which will add about an inch of lift in itself.

 

Thanks for the thoughts. I hadn't thought about the front hanger. Does seem like a weak point though. Does tg sell an upgrade or am I better off fabing my own? I will look into the lift springs.

Thanks again.

 

Looking at the trail gear super flex hd springs. Trying to decide between the 3",4"or 5" springs. Currently has a 3" skyjacker lift in the front and rear. Need to bring the front back up 4" to match the rear. Any ideas would be great.

 

Scratch all of that. Just going to get the complete kits. 5" front HD with high steer and everything else. Also going to get the complete 5" rear kit. $2000 ish and done.

 

Shell be sittin nice and tall! Are you upgrading the front hanger too, or just the springs?

 

These are the kits I'm getting.
