[QUOTE="tlcruiser66, post: 1048979, member: 17111"] Okay guys, i'm probably gonna have a few questions for you guys eventually as this is my first stock truck i've spent any real time modifying. My goal is to keep this thing clean and not too crazy, just want something to have fun with while i'm finishing my Cruiser. Alright, to start off its a 1985 4Runner thats at stock height and with stock tire size. I've got a set of 35" Bias Claws that I was gonna use on the Cruiser but now those are gonna be a little small so I figure hell may as well put em on here. I'm a little lost as to how much lift is going to be required to get these to fit while at full flex. I'm prepared to do some cutting on this thing as the rear fenders already have some good rust on them and need some trimming anways. I'm not interested in being the highest rig at the mall, I just want to get the best artictulation I can while keeping a good low center of gravity. Second thing I want to know about is on Pirate i've read a bunch about putting rear springs on the front to stretch out the wheelbase some and to improve my approach angle, is there anything I need to know about this other than just a spring change? Am I gonna run into many other problems with driveline length or steering geometry, they weren't real specific about the consequences of this conversion. I'll post some before pics of it when I get home tomorrow, and i'll be sure to keep you guys posted with the progress. Thanks Guys, Kevin [/QUOTE]
