got the truck jacked up ready to work on it and noticed if i do lower the motor. now its going to hit the steering stabilizer and the tierod. what to do?? theres maybe an inch between the oil pan and the steering.

How much do you need to drop it to get it under the hood? On my old yota the frame was Z'ed an inch, and the BD is 2.5 to the rockers. I only had to lower my motor 3/4 of an inch to keep ut under the hood.

A buddy if mine that had a doored yota with a 6" traditional BD, lowered his motor a couple inches to keep it under the hood. He had to mess with his steering linkage and mod his oilpan to make it work. He did the steering by cuttin out the center section and makin a couple drop downs at the ends and welded it up. It worked perfect.

Any more questions, let me know!

dont happen to have any pics of his steering would you? i was thinking that was how i would make it happen but i wanted to ask before i did that.

I have to modify my center link as well. My motor is essentially lowered 1.5" so I'm going to drop the center of the drag link down to clear the pan, and lower the mount for the steering stabilizer.

Na i dont have any pics and his truck was sold, sorry man.
