You are both correct. I meant the total lift #'s over relative to what I run right now. I'm currently using add-a-leaves, rear shackles and running 33's. If I move up the front hangers ~2" into the frame, and push the shackles hangers up (maybe ~3" of "drop") also, the new spring eye location will effectively drop the truck 2 1/2". I may pull the add-a-leaves, which gave me ~2+", I will be looking at a total ~4" drop. If the SOA adds 3" axles, plus the perches and springs = ~7". 7-4=3.

I just picked up some 37's (they are huge by the way!) With the new tires and the lift, I would have probably 10+" over stock, but from the current set up only 6-7" of total lift (4-5" suspension + 2" over tires)

Clear as mud? Man, it is early for a Saturday!

ink- I plan to address pinion angles during set up. I'm adding a doubler and longer front d-shaft, so I'm hoping to keep the pinion angle stock w/ no cut and turn.

Edit - none of that math makes sense , just estimates

So...Are FJ60 spring hangers a possibility? I'm waiting for Ruffstuff Specialties to get theirs done, but I would gladly use yours if they were available soon.

If you need any measurements and such, let me know.

You were pretty busy at the meet last Friday, so we did have a chance to meet in person. I had to leave early, my son had a football game and I needed to make the second half.

Give me a shout, the 40 is back together and I drove it for a few blocks Sunday. Still needs to have the motor/ carburator dialed in and the alignment done but could have the vehicle to you in a few weeks.

The LC is a 1977, I have installed the MAF High output six, and the Toyota H55 tranny. Since everything is new and the frame powder coated it should be very clean to work on.....no rust, no frozen bolts, no grime to scrape away.

Hope the timing works for your schedule.

I live in Scottsdale and the Cruiser is currently in Buckeye but should have it home before Christmas, look forward to hearing from you.

On a 60. I want to move the hangers up into the frame for less overall lift on a spring over.

On another note, I've seen a bunch of projects using 60 axles on a 40(including my bro-in-law's) Would have been handy to have some aftermarket ones.

Ruff Stuff has them;

Yup, I just noticed this weekend they updated

Dave,
Do you have a fj60 or Saginaw pump bracket for pre-78' 2f motors(i.e. block is not tapped for factory PS)?

Dave,
I was talking with Tim Hill about a front bumper/brush guard that hinged on the front and when locked would wrap over the front of the hood to prevent someone from opening the hood. He said he mentioned it to you. I've got some ideas and drawings I would like to discuss with you. I was wondering how busy you are and if I could call and talk with you about this project.

Hangers? Still wondering if it's a possibility...
