Lift this weekend anything else I need?

I'm lifting my 94 DX V6 5spd Pickup this weekend. I've got the 4 inch Superlift kit, a set of bj spacers, new torsion bars, new shocks and a set of the revolver lift shackles. I've ordered the new torsion bar adjuster bolts from the stealership and should have them tomorrow. Is there anything else I should need or should do while I've got the front end torn down? I've already done the brakes and new front axles.

I've got that taken care of as well. I'll be doing this at my shop and was thinking about upgrading the diffs while I had her in the air. I really like ARB's air locker but don't really like the price. Detroits are real nice I've run them in my car's before. Are there any recommendations that you guys give?

just make sure you have extended brake hoses for that lift. i ran into that problem and was running around town on a weekend trying to find some. also something to consider, i dont know how complete that kit is that you bought, but may be a good idea to check out a panhard rod drop bracket and BPV adjuster for your brakes. just a thought since the question is up, not many people worry about it, but its your rig.

He's got a truck so he shouldn't need that panhard rod drop bracket. Good advice of the BPV adjuster though.

Looking forward to the results on this! I would recommend a steering stabilizer. OME makes a good one from what I hear and I will be getting one of these shortly. What size tires you going with? Just out of curiosity, are you re-gearing and/or locked? Going to be awesome!

Trucks have leaf springs in the back, so no need for panhard. The leafes keep the axle centered. 4Runners have coils, so you need something to keep the axle from moving side to side.

Have fun all.
