After planning, researching, and purchasing for several months I finally got around to installing everything over the weekend. The following items were installed on my 87 runner: 63" chevys with a double shackle in the rear, BJ spacers up front, new CV boots on both sides, differential breathers front and rear, downey IFS truss, fuel filter and a U-bolt flip kit. It took a little longer than I anticipated but working on my vehicles usually does. I will try to post a few pics to show before and after. I am running 33x10.5 BFG MT's. I took it wheeling last night just to try it out and it worked great. Some trails where I had some trouble before it just walked right up with very little problem. The ride is great even with the worn out shocks still on. I have two lights for the front bumper on the way and I will be ordering new shocks this week. After that I will install an aussie locker in the rear and I will be ready for some more trails. Thanks for all the great writeups on here. It really simplified many of the mods that I just did.

 

Good looking ride! What year is it? Mike

 

It is an 87. I wanted to post the pics so you could see them without looking at the attachments but I have not figured out how to post them in with my text yet. I just looked at the pics again and they are not very high quality but you can at least see what a difference there is. It now sits perfectly level and I probably gained 4' of lift in the rear as compared to the worn out saggy stock springs.

 

The pictures look fine on this end and yes you can see the difference. Hope my 01 Tacoma looks half that good when it's that old,Lol. Mike

 

This truck is very nice! What a difference before and after.
