you will need to remove the anti wrap bar above the front diff housing. you will also have to mod the steering, because the diff will move about 50mm forward, the steering will be put off. basically it will turn harder one way. maybe try shortening the steering arm or moving the steering box forward....up to you. And also the front hangers will need to be replaced for longer ones, you can knock them up yourself. i think thats about it....

This is the best way I believe to set this up.
1st Get cross over steering installed on your hilux. The standard push pull setup will give up after a while with flexy suspension.
With the actual suspension setup. Get dropped hangers 1-2" drop, 2" extended shackles, shock hoops, new shocks, extended brake lines.
If you want send me a PM I sell the hangers, shakles and shock hoops. I have set this up on over 10 hiluxs
