[QUOTE="84Toyota4x4, post: 916514, member: 16626"] Well, just as an update, I got it kinda mounted (more like mocked up) tonight where I think I'm gonna run it. I ended up cutting out the core support as well as part of the body mount to get it where I mostly wanted it. Its pretty far forward, and the steering shaft will be mostly straight as well with the angle I went with. The only thing I'm a little worried about is how low it sits. I wish I could have gotten it up tighter to the frame for pitman to spring clearance, but I couldn't get it any higher without cutting more than I wanted to out of the body mount because of the angle I wanted it to sit at. I figure (estimating) I should have about 3" between my drag link and tie rod, which will be plenty if the axle only comes forward another 1.5" or so with new springs. Also, I figure since these springs I have now flex for crap I probably wont have problems with the pitman to spring clearance now, and when I do finally upgrade springs, I plan to build a hanger up front which will drop the springs a little to help with that clearance as well. I'll try and get pictures tomorrow for opinions. ~T.J. EDIT: Just realized that all my mocking up and everything is with the truck on jack stands at the frame, so the axle is already at full droop. When I put weight on it Ill get more tie rod to drag link clearance when the shackles lay back a little. However, that means I will have less spring to pitman arm clearance. Crappy. [/QUOTE]
