Very nice I hope to get mine down to Rubicon one of these days. I'm running 5.29 gears so my speed is about 60 mph. I plan on doing a vortec swap maybe next year, perhaps a 5.3/nv4500/atlas case. That should get me into the highway speeds. I also plan on running some Ford springs up front with a shackle reversal but that's a big can of worms. Im following this thread so keep us posted on how it's going!

That's what I am wondering my 62 has ome lift I believe heavy because it rides like a tank I named it roughcunt also has shacked reversal in front and long ome shackles in the rear. At some point i want to redo the front to something that doesn't hang down far and with different front springs a buddy of mine wants me to figure out a shackle reversal for his 60.

Got frame ground and cleaned up today. I’m going to have to remove/modify my tow hitch as it interferes with my new shackle location. Otherwise, things are coming along nicely. I’ll try and get the hangers tacked on to the frame for measurements next Fri.
Once I order the MAF front springs, and do the front, I’ll know if if I have to French my rear hangers into the frame.

Why would this be a troll thread? Never seen someone improve their Land Cruiser in a way other then a bolt-on lift and allterrains before?

Basically from the start of rejecting all help of finding a center for an axle to the way it’s hung up in the air for a week until the next action happens ... idk I’d love my kids to hang out next door ...

I haven’t rejected any suggestions or advice at all. And whether you agree or not, pipe stands hold more than enough weight to support the rear end of most cars.
This entire forums has always been a great way to explore builds, learn from others and try new s***. I’m more than content asking questions that make me look dumb, the idea is to learn.
And if kids these days are making it a habit of crawling under cars which are clearly being worked on, I’d say that’s a conversation for another forum.

@4runnered I do plan on boxing the frame out, and either putting the rear crossmember (for the spare tire carrier) back in place, or at least building in additional bracing when I build a rear tire swingout.
That picture definitely helps explain what can happen though. Thanks

Hangers and mounts tacked up today.
Gonna stretch the wheelbase just a touch. This is back on its own body weight. Shackle mount will be moved in order to make shackle more vertical, because I will later be building bumper/tire carrier and adding a lot more weight.

Makes it sit level on your driveway.

Oddly enough, my driveway is dug level for that parking space. There is a tall curb along the property line that makes it look that way. It also drive me nuts “eyeballing” things along the way.
