Toyota Clip Questions

I'm getting ready to do the bag install on the toyota clip I put on my wagon and have a few questions.-Any pics of what/where you cut to clear RE7 bags in front? -Do I or can I get rid of the steering bump thats on the lower control arm?-Pics of where you mounted the upper and lower plate?- Are there any uniball setups that bolt in to stock arms?-When installing the motor, is there a degree of tilt I should put on it or how do I set it in the frame the correct angle?

Any help would be great and pics will help even more. Thanks.

I know someone hase some pics and info. Seth? You have pics of everything you did on your truck...right?

Questions 1-3:
A few months back Mini Truckin showed how to bag a toyota truck(same clip as you have) The photos an write up were good and it used all stock parts. If you don't have the issue it might be in the tech forum of MT's website. If you can't find it online post back and lemme know, I'll get you the year/month of the mag so you can order a back issue.
Question 4:
Barely Legal Fab will make you a uniball setup with tapered mounting hardware and uni balls mounted to plates that are drilled to match your stock ball joints so it all bolts in like stock. Be aware that the stock Toyota ball joints will support about 13 inches of wheel travel which is probably more than you will be able to get with an airspring. The key with using the stock joints is to re-angle their mounting so that they are just a hair from being bound up when the truck is layed out so that you have all their travel to use as you lift.
Question 5:
Most engines are designed to be tilted slightly to the rear for oil drainage, like a couple degrees. Bear that in mind when you mount it and you should be fine. There was a question about this in the Ask Max forum in the lkast week or so you could check out as well.

I hope my little book helps you out a bit anyways, good luck.

Its on my desk at work Lucky, I'll look tomorrow and post up if no one else answers first.

cool. thanks man.

FEBRUARY 2007 page 52-55. I guess when I read that a year ago I wasnt even thinking about the front, I was still building the rear. Thanks guys for all your help.

so what issue covers the steering? march? (ill have to look at that one as well i
guess) that just seems to be a major pain in the ass compared to z-ing the front...
