Suspension lift with dropped front crossmember

Post by BushTuckerNed »

Hello all

I bought a new hilux and it has cross over steering with the dropped front crossmember.

Its very tall and i want to lower it.

With the dropped Xmember, is the suspension lift the same front to rear? Or do you need a smaller lift in the front to equal a 2" higher rear?

Im asking becasue it looks like the rear springs have quite a big bow in them, and the fronts are still relatively flat compared to the rear.


I want to go back to 2" suspension lift, was thinking getting longer ones made up tho to make use of extended shackles

2in droped hanger and 2in extended shackles on stock height springs would make the 2in lift going a longer spring from the centre pin to shackle end will make it ride a little better and with the right shocks will give better down travel
plenty of parts on the bench
