[QUOTE="bluetoy, post: 467805, member: 569"] Mine's about as low as you can get with an IFS frame on leafs. I run modified stock front leafs with the center pin re-drilled 2" forward on the main and military wrap leafs. All lower leafs are not drilled, just slid up to the new hole. The spring perch is drilled 1 1/4". This puts the axle 3 1/4" forward from stock to get the tires away from the cab. I have a TG front hanger kit, but I shortened the shackles as much as I could. I run a home built "Y" arm for steering made out of stock arms instead of high steer in order to get a little more clearance on the frame for up travel. This will clear 39.5" TSLs without rubbing the cab corners on my 4runner. This is a low buck, low tech setup. It looks like I'm just being cheap, but that's not the case . I've ran nearly every leaf setup you can think on a Toyota, and I like this better than anything I've ran. I've ran this setup on multiple rigs for at least six years now with zero issues. I've never had a single problem with the steering or spring setup. Back when I ran high steer the studs would come loose or break all the time. I've never even had a nut to be loose on the stock arm setup. Nothing fancy, but it has worked well for me. :dblthumb: [IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee235/rockrebel83/4runner%20build/100_2067-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee235/rockrebel83/4runner%20build/100_2070-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee235/rockrebel83/4runner%20build/100_2071-1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
