Yep...4-inch angle blocks. mono-leaf, 2.5 c-notch & gabriel airshocks. Oh & here is the thread on the rear porportioning valve removal... http://www.toyotaminis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3611
update... Here are some pics of the front bagged & tranny crossmember installed. Now keep in mind Ill still got the Z the frame, install the 3-link kit & go with a bigger notch-(step notch). I forgot to get better pics of the tank/valves, but when we start work on the rear in 2 weeks Ill get some more of the setup to show everyone how it looks. *Once we get it back in the shop we/me & Jason are going to do a few more things as well. Im planning to install the late model/stamped tailgate onto my tailgate, 4-runner front clip & might raise the bed floor up to hide all the rear suspension.
dude the trucks lookin baddddddddddddddddddd. On the wheels, ive got the same wheels. Ive started on them and i have one done, but the others are being really picky about being polished out. What steps did you take to do yours.
Thanks bro & as for my rims I didnt have to polish then cause they are factory chrome plated lol. A few guys on here have polished their rims & Im hoping one will chime in on your question.
Thanks for all the kind words guys & when we get more done Ill be sure to post pics. Not sure when that will be cause I may be getting called back up to the Army Reserves!! Ill know for sure tomorrow & if so Ill be deployed to back overseas again.
Its pretty simple as long as you have all the right tools lol & just hit me up when you decide to do it. Thanks for the props & its still as it looks in the pics lol. Ive been working on my 97 Eclipse GS trying to get it back together, painted & sold. Once Ive got it gone Im going to finish the truck. *Oh & here's a heads up to all you guys that own an extra-cab, when I start on the body drop the complete frame minus the control arms will be for sale!!More details on that when the truck gets torn done later this winter.
Ive had a few people asking me to post pics of how I mounted all the air ride under my truck, well here are a few pics of it now that the bed is back off. Everything is tucked up between the frame rails & Ive got an extra 3/8 rubber air hose mounted on the tank to allow me to install a longer air hose for whatever/whenever an emergency comes up. As you can see its nothing fancy...5 gallon-(skinny) tank, SMC valves-(1/2 up & 3/8 down), 1/2 lines, 200psi pressure switch & Air Zenneth compressor thats mounted in the bed. The rear suspension is a 4wd mono-leaf, 4-inch angle blocks, c-notch/raised front hangers & Gabriel air shocks.
Nice man. Hey on the 4wd leafs in the back..... how many leafs do you have pulled? Alsowhat are the hangers your talking about? Do you have to raise them?
Sorry for the delay...I didnt see your question till today. Im only running a mono-leaf in the back-(main spring) cause I dont drive my truck much & when I had the overload spring in it would keep my truck from sitting all the way down in the notch. As for the hangers, I drilled a new hole about an inch higher & bolted the leafs back up. I only did that cause I kept draggin through the front of the leaf springs & breaking them. Ill take a pic of what I did as soon as I get my camera back from my brother.
Been awhile since I posted, but here are a few pics of what's going on with the truck. First pic is her loaded up & on her way to Cable Fabrication to start on the body drop, longbed conversion & supra mk3 independent rear suspension... Also swapped the rims to some 18-inch billets, will post more pics as progress is made.
