I'am almost finished my six inch lift and rear three link. The first picture is a four inch dobinson lift. If you are like me it is always not good enough. After five months of research and many lost nights of sleep the project started.
This March the family and I went to Japan to see the in-laws. The wife let me buy some 6 inch coils. I brought them back in my suite case.
My exhaust kicks out in front of the drivers rear tire which allowed me to build the third link cross member.
This Prado flexes like mad.
I have to tune in the bump stops and replace my shocks with longer ones. I cut the lower link mounts off the frame and moved them 8 inches ahead.
All my joints but one, are hiems from Bilistic fabrication.
The lower links are 37 inches and the third link is 26 inches. The ride is nice and stable at highway speeds but has the softness of a 6 inch lift with no rear swaybars should have.
I hope this gives everybody great ideas. I don't know if this setup is the best but it sure feels good to me and works well.
I would love to see everyones custom lifts.
Any questions just ask. We are all on the same team.
