Different IFS?

[Kris]

I know you are thinking "dear god, more?"

Anyway... I stumbled across this site: Front Ball Joint Spacer Kit - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits Did IFS really not change in 8 years?

In general, ya nothing in the front IFS suspension system changed from '86 till '95, when the Tacoma finally arrived.

I think the V6 trucks/Runners had heavier torsion bars.... but that was it... AFAIK

 

[Kris]

Do people use the V6 torsion bar to lift the 4bangers?

swapping t-bars doesn't lift anything, it just makes the suspension stiffer. You can adjust the ones you have instead, but I`d rather install ball-joint spacers.

Swaping v6 t-bars on to a 4cyl works great. Doesn't do anything to the ride that is noticeable but they take cranking in lift way better. The only problem is finding a low mileage set that isn't worn out by now.

Not to hijack, but I've got a low mileage set of T-bars out of an LN-130 Surf--which should be the same as the V6 bars, if anyone is interested.

I will note that my truck's PO (that was well over a decade ago now) cranked the T-bars, and it did indeed ride real rough. I would personally get ball joint spacers instead of cranking the T-bars.
