Thanks guys. I'm excited to get it on the road soon, and have my own bagged truck again.

what kinda of pricing on some uppers and lowers for a 87 model ? and glad to see your backfrom time to time.

--------------------------------------------

I have not finalized pricing as of yet. But they will be available within about a month through me or Grant. I will try to remember to update you when I get the new upper arms done along with the cross shafts.

Just curious as to how much you had to narrow the front clip?

--------------------------------------------

I actually did not have to narrow the front clip. The track width is the same from 79-95. I just chose to because I could hardly turn on my last truck, and I dont like 4WD fenders. The body on the first gen trucks is narrower than the newer trucks, but share the same track width. I had the highest offset wheels I could find, and I could basically only do lane changes unless I was almost laid out (camber helped) or above the tire because there was so little clearance. Maybe 1/4" at best. The later clips also have a little different geometry, and get much less camber as you can see. So I narrowed it 1.5" total, and I have a little over 1/2" between the tire and fender lip.

I'm interested in the Bilstein shocks. How much can you get out of the ones on the rear? How about up front? I'm looking for a set of shocks for my 4 Runner and I'm curious about these. How about cost? Thanks Seth.

Thanks Jeremy! And everyone else that has chimed in.

Radar, the Bilstein shocks are about $90 each.

I should be back on this thing next week sometime. The fun part for me is over now, all the tedious stuff is left.

as always looking really good. Any pictures or the front sway bar all done? Were those shock mounts on the rear links done in house? They look great!
