I have a 92 2wd pickup and a 92 4wd 4runner. My pickup sits real low and i rearended somone but everything still runs amazing. The 4runner has a blown motor but the body is immaculate. I would like to have a lowered 4 runner and I am wondering if the parts are interchangable. What i want to do is pretty much take all the six lug and 4 wheel drive parts off the 4runner and replace them with the 5 lug and 2wd parts from my pickup. I will also be taking the motor and tranny out of the truck and putting it into the 4runner. I am thinking that the toyota 4runner and pickup parts are pretty interchangable with the things i have done with the pickup. I realize i will most likely need a new driveshaft, but that is the easy part. The overall question is, will the front end parts like the torsion bars, spindles, and all the 2wd components bolt onto the front end once the 4wd parts are taken off? Thanks for the help

 

The torsion bars are on the top arms with the 4wd and the bottom arms with the 2wd so you can't exactly change it all without doing some welding. I suggest using the 2wd frame (if it is not damaged and from a reg cab) to mount the 4 runner body on. That way you will only have to lift the body, do some cutting and fitting, and make new body mounts.

 

Nothing will swap suspension wise from to 2wd to the 4WD. Lower the 4Runner but use 6 lug wheels.
