hi gang. im new here obviously.
94 4runner 3.0 5spd
here is my question: can i leave the lift kit in place, and in the front, move the differential backup to its original location, leaving in place the control arms attached to the lift kit ? to resolve the steep cv shaft angles can the T100 axle, being longer, work to mitigate some degree of cv shaft angle?

i need to lift the diff up to factory location to lessen the steep angle of the front drive shaft, (poor design) , and in part so i can get the exhaust tubing from the passenger side header shifted over to the driver side.
as it is, with lift, the drive shaft location prevents this exhaust from passing under the transmission. so lift the diff, reduce front drive shaft angle, leave the control arms where they are, add the t100 cv shaft. thus the exhaust will pass under the front drive shaft. i'm trying to leave the Cat intact, otherwise i would run piping to rear of t case
has this been tried, using t100 axles in this config?
comments?

partial list of rehab:
pull engine trans.
reseal.
new injectors
headers (ebay)
header wrap
reroute lines wrap them
clutch
hydraulics for clutch
brakes and hydraulics for brakes
new A/C lines seals condenser accumulator
new radiator
electric fan (maybe)
ps pump and lines
t case seals
diff seals
shocks
tires
synthetic fluids
wipers
steering components total

fuel tank full of rust
new pump. filter plugged solid
fuel tank tip: compressed air, seal openings with rags , two cups course sand dump in, air gun with extended tip. slip under rag, wiggle it around . instant sand blast. , but not for too long you will knock off the galvi. you just want the scale knocked off.
then vacuum out the residue

redesign and rebuild rear lift extensions; dumb and lazy engineering from maker and not safe either.

currently contemplating swapping in a montero rear axle, also contemplating fire bombing the turd, as it has been , so far, much more trouble than its worth

thanks guys

 

t100 shafts will only work with a LT kit like a blazeland that have longer arms.

 

thx for this.
i got thru this problem by cranking softer the torsion arms leaving the lift kit in place and raising the front axle assembly to its factory perch.
i regained my driveline angle , and by reducing the lift, actually reduced axle distance by flattening the control arms. it remains to be seen if this will work, but looks promising.
i cannot remove lift kit and return to factory as some of the frame had been cut and the factory parts are nearly nonexistent in my area right now.
ultimately? coil overs
thx fer reply
