lift 89 hilux
have heard a bit if info on lifting a hilux the truck i own was already lifted but i decided i like a little more so i bought exstended shackles from tjm in the gong not knowing it would give it lift but cause my shocks to top out i was able to get a set of shocks from a mate and installing them fixed that proplem but was also informed that u can get he leafs out the bact front then put leafs out of a 86 mod 4runner get the two top leafs with the eye lets and bolt them in the back of the 89mod to give it more lift and pinion angle if any has done this could they post sum pics up and sum measurements of how high the truck sits cheers guys.or you can call me on 0423040261
puntuation really helps make things readable, re read what you write before you post.
I think what your asking about is using IFS rears in a solid axel hilux. ie the rear springs out of any ifs front hilux.
yes this will work very well with your extended shackels - just be aware that extended shackles are not legal on the road.
try it without removing leafs first. when you remove leafs it will be softer and sit lower and sag faster. so try it as a full pack first see how it works, if its compressing fully when flexing then its ok, if not then maybe try removing one of the heavier leaves. its trial based.
If your remove leaves from the front it will sag as well. so if your trying to go taller then this isnt going to work to well.
more pinion angle??? this is not a goal. i think you mean shackle angle, you ideally want them to sit about 45 degs. your pinion is in your diff and the less angle the better for the joints in the drive shaft.
probably the measurments you want will be from diff to chassis as different tyres and trays will effect how 'high' the truck is/appears.
IFS rears (depending on condition) with extended shakles will probably lift you about 3 inchs over std.
the other thing to consider is that your current 2 inch lift might have sagged and not be 2 inches anymore.
