4runner/hilux with 37's and no Body Lift
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 12:46 am
My runner is about 8" over standard with 37's, rancho springs (rs44044) and a 2" body lift.
So I am thinking of removing the body lift to reduce the overall lift. I have the guards and tubs cut with the front axle moved 1" forward. Anyone fitted 37's on a hilux without a body lift?? Pics!!
I have snakes shock mounts and they just fit with the 2" BL. Should I cut the inner guards to fit the hoops?? Will I have to weld some sheet back over the hole to add some strength to the guard??
I will have to modify the sliders, rear bar, front bar (making a new one anyway), get the radiator modified (as it will be too tall without the BL), message the firewall because of the V8. Is it worth the trouble to reduce the height by 2"??
