I used the plasma cutter to cut out the holes for the front shackles, but a stock hole in the frame is right above it. This is where the jigs put the hole though, is this normal? Or do I have a problem? Its and 86 4Runner and a Trail-gear kit. Thanks for the help.

 

Ya might want to put a plate over that to help strengthen the hole you just cut and the hole above it. Just an idea to help strengthen it.

 

Thanks, has anyone seen this on a 4Runner? I was looking and found some pics of trucks and I don't think they have a hole there at all.

 

Yeah my 1988 truck doesn't have that hole.

 

Well, sucks for me, must be a 4runner thing or an 86 thing

 

I have that hole on my 90 but when I did my swap it did not hit the hole like that.

 

Does it look like i did something wrong? I mean, anywhere you put the template it will hit that hole

 

should be fine just weld a plate on there with a hole in it for some strength

 

Mine also had that hole. They are on most newer rigs i think.

Weld the shackle tube where it goes. then take a plate or so and grind it down so it goes over somewhat smoothly and weld that on to brace it up..

 

That's how mine are. Don't worry about it.

 

plate it.
might as well pull the DS off your TC now, the splines are not gonna be long enough for you anyway....
