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.

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 -

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.
