What are all the parts included in the 4in bracket lifts?

hey guys.

i think that im actually ready to bolt everything up to my toyota tonight, and i just wanted to clarify a few things before i get greasy.

this was in the pile of parts that i bought a while back... (some of you might remember the thread...) what is it, where does it go?







and heres everything else. are their any other misc. brackets that im missing?







i think ill only be using the crossmember on the right, the guy before me had to make the one on the left when he used both lifts together. (3.5in rancho and 4in procomp..) please let me know about the misterious crossmember asap!

thanks, and wish me luck!

okay... you're missing some things... in particular the driver's side bushing and drop mount for the front differential housing. probably more, but my mind is pulling an OJ and didn't do it.

I don't see a second set of lower control arm mounting bolts - you need them to bolt the drop bracked to the old lower arm mounts.

I don't see the bolt used to bolt the existing steering knuckle to the drop brackets (where the old balljoint used to connect to the knuckle).

The one on the right go's to the front if you look at the stock one thats on there you will see the mount on the end is for your front third to bolt into.

Brackets for dropping the sway bar and the bump stops are missing, as well as the LSPV extension (if you have the LSPV).

wow, thanks for all the replys!

i do have all of the bolts to do the job, and their all new. i still have to figure something out for the bumpstop extensions, and instead of dropping the sway bar im going to get longer bolts and sleeves, and leave the sway bar in the stock location.

what is this bushing and drop mount you speak of? can you describe a little more clearly, please.

does anyone have any pictures on hand of the bumpstop/ lspv extensions on your trucks? they would help alot! or even if someone could describe them to me. ill be doing all the work in an alright equiped shop, so ill have to make the brake extensions, lspv extensions, and bumpstop extensions myself.

i went over their tonight and dropped off all of the lift parts and the box of bolts that i have. surgery begins at 2:00pm tomorrow!

thanks for any help guys!!!

The lsvp bracket is just a bracket that extends off the axle and pushes the lsvp trigger (whatever its called) up. Bracket should be the same amount as the lift in the rear.

Let me see if i can find a picture of the diff brackets.

damn, i dont think i have any of the stuff to drop the front diff. bummer.

what is the exact job of the tapered sleeves? to center the origional hole that the balljoint goes into?

dont have them either.

bump stop, swaybar, and lspv brackets are going to be a cakewalk. the diff is only holding me up now. hopefully i can throw something together.

thanks again!

post up some advice/ ideas if anybody has any!

turns out that theirs supposed to be 3 different front diff drop down brackets. i wonder exactly how long thos brackets are? because i could use the diff drop brackets out of my rancho kit.. i just dont know exactly how much i neeed to drop the diff. is it EXACTLY 4in? i think so.



this would be the "center" one.


and this would be the drivers side


any thoughts?
thanks!
