does anyone make any form of front suspension for the 81-87 PUPs? wanting to lay my 86 out on 20s but need some info. i plan to have my axles and hubs drilled for a 5x4.5 pattern to allow me to run some decent FWD offset wheels

pics and links would be nice

thanks

Why not use toyota spindles up front and use a toyota rear out back. That will give you the lug patteren you need and a larger assortment of wheels to choose from. You would just have to have some arms made to adapt the front toyota parts to the isuzu frame.

is the yota rear the same length? would the stock ds work with just the rear flange off the yota? there arent any shops near me that could fab the arms.. do you know of anyone?

There are several peopl on here that could make them including myself. I'm not sure of the lenght of the rear but it might even be a little bit shorter.

they dont make anything for those trucks. ive got two of them right now myself. tha spacecab has a toyota rear end from a 85 because its shorter than the newer ones and it barely clears layin frame on 19s. it wont clear bodydropped because the bedsides roll in. 81-87 isuzus have extremely short rear end like curriers and are narrow trucks. i would do like he said about the front so that you could get drop spindles^. that wat im doin to redo my regular cab. any q's jus let me know
