I've done just about the same thing on my 85 4runner but have to finish up the front bump stops, how long did you make yours and how far back did you set them from the original location?
with the lift, moving the front axle forward 3.5 inchs and the fact that the axle moves back ward under compression they ended up in the same spot.

I put on a 3.5 inch lift. the hydro assist cylinder hit the oil pan pretty hard. so I lowered the bump stop 2.75 inches.. 3 when you include the 1/4 inch plate on the end of it.

this is on our two current trucks. yep, two of them, dual cased, stock front and 4.7 rear with twin shift in the rear and 5.29 gears. locked front and rear. longs. longs lock out gears. 36 inch sx tires.
bud built transfer case mounts, chained the motor mounts,


lot rather lift a tire then poke a hole in the oil pan.

doing cages for the toys right now.
