  • This also loosely applies to pickups and 2nd gen 4runners as well in the year range 86-95. Kind of a step by step for those that want to get started.

    Dude, thanks for posting this. For some reason there isn’t a lot of informative videos about old Toyota’s. Im am about to post a video of my 1994 SR5 Pickup because there is just so little info on them.

      I agree completely. Not much specific info out there. They're so popular I'm surprised. Just wanted to help the community

    Good vid but it's easy to pull diff and shafts. Then upper and lower control arm can come off together still attached to steering knuckle. Just need to pull locking hub to let shaft slip through

    I got confused with your explanation on how it rode with the stock rear leaf on the front, could you explain a little more what it was doing and when it’s was doing it? I’m planning on using my rear leafs on the front aswell.
    What do I need to consider exactly if I want to do that?

    But if i wanted to shift the axle foward more, the rear hanger location wont work right? Or is there a better leaf that is longer and hangs cirrectly in the rear while pushing the axle foward?

    • @brendonwitmer4942
      @brendonwitmer4942  11 місяців тому

      You could do whatever you want. That hangar location is specifically for RUF. You can move it where you want but it will affect the width of your spring perches if you move the shackle location farther back. I would move the front hangar farther forward and keep the toy axle width

      Wasn't the 1985 4runner with the EFI and Solid front axle made for only a year? because I have that 1985 4runner SR5 5 speed on 35's with 5:29 gearing.
