im building this 4runner right now and i got my frame all done with the echols rx7 irs clip that i had laying around..well i set it up with the wheelbase right on with the truck laid out..got the body on...for one...the width is almost too wide(the wheels rub some) i could maybe get around this..but thats just the start,as soon as i start to lift it..the rear end swings back...WAYY back..like..into the rear bumper back...i really wanted to use this setup due to the floor and rear seat saving space, but its just not going to work unless i drive it totally hammered all the time. im going to be mounting my fuel cell and air tank in the rear under the floor, so this eliminates a reverse 4link(bad idea i know..but it would WORK..sorta, for what i need) and if i do a forward triangulated or wishbone im killing my rear seat space, it seems the only two real possibilities i have are parallel 4link with bags over axle, or a 2link with bags on bars, the only downside i see to the parallell is the fact that i will now have to run bags over axle and not get enuf lift to untuck the 20s...BUT the other downside to ALL options EXCEPT IRS, is the fact that i will need a big driveshaft notch in my frame and tunnel in my floor, again taking away my seat space...maybe im answering my own questions here...but am i basically down to the option of no rear seat and a good rear suspension, or rear seat and floor space with a truck that only looks good when laid out? i know another type of IRS that has control arms vs trailing arms would work alot better for what im doing, but having something like that built, or buying something like that, is just not an option right now
