dont be scared to mix and match leaves. keep your stockers for spare parts if the ride or the hight isnt exactly what you are after. shocks play a big part in how harsh the ride is. a flexy suspension can still give a choppy ride if the shocks are valved too stiff. adjustable shocks like the ranchos ...

Hi, plenty come up on ebay all the time.just be patient till you find one that suits you at the right price. try to get one in as origional condition as posible. paintwork hides rust and bigger tires put more strain on pretty much everything. just my opinion. anyways nearly everything on a 4runner ...

i realise you want little or no mods but the disks are thicker. fyi the v6 calipers do bolt straight on however the backing plate needs 5mm taken off each end as they are a touch longer in the body.you need to use ifs rotors or vented lc fj40 rotors.from memory the rotors are off an 84 lc and around ...

HI BOWHUNTER, i think track width is measured from the centre of your tires across the car,wider tires dont necessarily increase your track just your overall width.rim back spacing will change your track. i.e. stock solid axle rims on an ifs model will increase the track. that is my understanding.i ...

The drop drag link that bbm or snake sells can be moddified,roger brown on his 4crawler site has info on how he did his.i think it involves un screwing the ends and cutting a little off both ends of the main rod.i guess about 1/4 inch each end. which allows you to adjust everything back to center ...
