I have a set of 4" dobinson coils in my 80 series. It is a petrol with a 170 litre long ranger and draws in the back, i went for the medium. I have given them a really good flex and they are great, especially without the sway bars. I run Rancho 9000x with them. The back has sagged a little but ...

It not has a double cardin joint up near the transfer case and the front diff has had the castors corrected with a new slightly dropped bracket for the front castor hole. This has pretty much got rid of 95% of ...

thanks Kyle Tried tapping the holes but as it is a bit of a nightmare to get the flange off, it has been a little too inacurate to get the holes to line up perfectly and it is giving a problem bolting it through to get the threads to line up.

Zoltan had the same problem as you. He had lots of lift from parabolic springs, bugger all articulation, but he changed over to flat springs, drop hangers and packers between the springs and the diff to get the lift back. Now you should see that 83 flex!! Very impressive

did you find any tailshaft wobble at all?? if not i may be barking up the wrong tree all together. May be it is coming from the transfer case? and not the drive shaft after all. Some Toyota dealer must have come across this problem at some stage? Anyway once i get this tail shaft in i will let you ...
