moving axle

[high_lux]

ok im getting a lift kit for my 93 hilux and wonna get bigger wheels so i was thinking of moving the front axle forword, i no some ppl have fitted 35z with just a lift but i wonna be 100%. i would like to no what i need to move the axle and will i be able to do it myself and the cost involved, i no i will need spacers but there has to be more then just them so any help would be great thanks

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.

i redrilled my spring perches 30mm back, put in an adjustable drag link and that was is.. 30mm diff forwardness, took about an hour..

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
