A few things I did, was extend front driveshaft, you'll need to change your shockmounts if still running standard, I put in a dropped fixed spring hanger which is 2" forward from standard and 75mm dropped, Used Standard Lux rear springs in the front and I'm running standard length shackles, Bumpstops need to be moved, and prob some probs with steering draglink, although I did my X-Over at the same time so can't really say. But I reckon worth doing, plenty of room for 35's or 37's with a 2" bodylift.

Hope a few things there help ya out.

i also did a similar thing to my lil lux. i changed my shock mounts to shock hoops, i run an extended front drive shaft, i use standard hangers, i also use 2" extended banana shackles, and with this i run standard rear hilux springs and procomp es9000 12" travel shocks. with this setup i achieved 3" axle forward.

hope this helps u to, if u want i can get some pics for u tommorow

Hey Aza, didn't you drop the front hangers? I thought they cracked on the Logan night run that' all.

no i did have dropped hangers to go in, but i wanted to keep it as low as possible and with my current set out i fully max out my springs so there is no point. buddy welded the hanger back together when her got home
