I actually lifted the front a little bit so it was level. I like the new torsion bars. They are stiffer but not really stiff. It does not bottom out which is what I was looking for.

http://store.revolutionbrake.com/topi19.html and here is a link for the brakes

The front belltech sway bar hits the transmission and the shocks. After some research the addco bars are getting ordered pay day. I am going to give the belltech bars to the scrap metal guy to melt into something useful

 

if only the rest of the truck looked that good.

 

Rim/brake combo looks good! I love the black and red look.. always looks soooo sweet!

 

lookin great!

 

dang! lookin good with the big brakes! waht size rim and tire do you have?

 

18x8 helo he834 wheels and I think 235 35 18 toyo proxies. I will definitely get wider tires next tire around. I didn't want to wait any longer at the tire shop that day.

 

alright so after 2 months of being back ordered my new sway bars finally arrived



check out the old wacky looking belltech bar.




I tore the old sway bar off before I thought about taking any pics, but trust me when I say it was not pretty.



The new bar looks much nicer and fits the way it should. The truck also handles significantly better.

check out the feathering on the outside edge of the tire from the belltech shock/ sway bar combo.

I cant believe I was stupid enough to think belltechs shocks and sway bars would work properly together on the same vehicle.

 

lownloud could you move this thread to the build up/ project folder?

 

Very nice! Got any pics of the whole truck?

 

Its not a incredibly recent pic but it basically looks the same except the brakes, a shaved handle on the passenger side and a little more rust.

a new core support and suicide doors are on the agenda after I deal with a few more minor mechanical issues.

 

Looks good, man! How do you like the ride now?

 

It looks great...but you spent how much on front brakes?!!!! I wish I had that to spend on my truck. I don't think I've put that much total into it yet!

 

the back of the truck rides smooth and feels firmly planted to the ground now. The front sway bar rubs the shocks over bumps and violently jerks the steering when that happens... so I will get back to you on that.


and no I didn't actually spend that much on the brakes

 

truck looks great & who did you get the new sway bars from??

 

I got them from http://www.neverenoughauto.com but they shipped directly from addco since they didn't have them in stock.

The guys at never enough were cool about following through and gave me the option to cancel my order as soon as they found out it was back ordered.
They will give you a better price if you call them and ask for it too

 

more pictures

So this is what happens when you spend the extra money on belltech sway bars and shocks.



notice the extra spacer on the frame so the bar does not rub the transmission and the rub mark on the shock in the 2nd pic

old vs new comparison



and a crappy quality picture showing off a bunch of parts.



the new sway bar barely touches the brake line while turning. I plan on bending the brake line bracket slightly tomorrow when im not at work trying to run away to the alignment shop.

 

Looking good!

I went on the NEA website for the front sway bar...
Application:
88-95 Toyota 4-Runner
88-95 Toyota Pickup 4wd

Am I looking at the right part? Or they fit 2WDs as well?

I used part number #736 in front and #382 in the rear.

 

Cool. Thanks.
