Upgrade to a GM master cylinder, proptional valve for the rear disk brakes, and some new coated stainless brake lines. Then had some drive shafts built with some mini truck CV joints.

Well after trail n error swapped the oil filter housing to the Lexus SC400 style. I tried removing the stock Tundra oil cooler, but the filter still contacted the steering ram with just a little flexing.

Used some RuffStuff shock towers for the rear upper mounts. Had to mod them some to get a good fit before welding them in.

They came like that, I was hoping the shocks would have helped some. Also have a bad front leaf spring, but not sure what they are. They measure 43.5" long and 2 5/8" wide.

Fresh front springs, Ford shock towers, and Rancho shocks installed.
THIS ^^^
method of attaching the lower shock to the axle housing will add a great deal of stress and whoop that bushing very quickly as the rear suspension articulates.
You may want to turn the shock body 90* and attach it via stud or?
Everything else looks good.
Did the new front springs help?
I agree with Mace, what do you mean the springs came that way? He was asking about the rear spring perches being wider apart on the axle than on the frame. Looks like you have the space to move them in, so the rear springs stand straight up and down.

Something like this for the lower mount?
Would like to upgrade to some ORI's one day and get rid of the coils.
Can the RS9000XLs mount with the dial on top?
Shaft on bottom?
I did it with my "OG" RS9000s 5Speed back in the "90"s & they worked fine.
It's something to think about & get the dial up out of harms way.
Plus easier to adjust. Just click 40 link in my signature to see.

Added cross pieces to the existing roll bar near the upper door frame area. 2" sch 40, HF pipe bender, and a grinder will have to do until funds for a cage come about.
