After reading bout re-drilling spring perches on front of hilux to move axle forward i would like to do this to my 96 dual cab. Where would i find spacers for driveshaft & steering (bout 30mm) and are there any other probs except axle wrap bar i shoud know about? CHEERS. :?

Approx 2 1/2 susp lift, stock steer. Like to move axle forward to accom 33" boots. (No body lift)

If you have stock steering you need to purchase a drop steering arm and modify it to make it shorter. You can get the steering arm from big balls -http://www.bigballsoffroad.com/prod37.htm

If you are going to get any decent amount ofr flex I would not bother with this option and go with cross over steering instead. Do a search any you will see how to do it :)

With regards to spacers big balls (I believe) do sell them, but you would be better off getting a new long travel shaft made if you are getting flex, as the standard shafts tend to pull apart.
