There's a plate with two nuts welded on it, I flipped those upside down.
When I did my ball joint flip, I unbolted the strut bar from the bottom to move things around, and bolted it back in the factory position.
Lemme know if you need more help.

Cinammon yeah i have that strut bar too. thanks guys! will post pics of the underside of my truck. lowering the rear more tomorrow. it is 130am here in my country

 

You don't see too many people running old school Watanabe banana type wheels. I give you major props for that, looks sick.

Sweet, glad to know I helped you out. Get some rest, it's always fun lowering a Toyota

for the rear, what are you going to do for lowering?

Does the rear of your truck rub the tires on the fenders at all?

I just noticed your dual cab doesn't have the flared "widebody" style rear bedsides that the USDM trucks have.
Since your tires stick out, if you go too soft and lose spring rate, when you hit a bump the tires will travel up more and could touch the fenders (unless you roll them, i'm not sure what you did with your truck though).

Just a few things to think about.
What did you do with your bumpstops? I guess you could have it to the point where it'll stop the wheels before they meet the fenders. I think you know what you're doing, so I'll let you do your thing

 

Fenders are rolled and pulled 25mm front and back. Tires rub on the fenders but not too much. Only on potholes and dips (Philippine roads suck. We are still 3rd world lol).

Rear going to pull the middle leafs. My bumpstop now is just ziptied flipflops LOL

*dumb question. If i lower the rear would the fronts raise up? me and my buddies were drinking at the back of my truck, the bed then we noticed to front had 1 finger gap while the rears tuck. Without any weight the front tires tuck about 1/4"

 

No the front lift up if you lower it in the back. Its cause you had more weight in the back and made the front go up.

 

what did you use to roll/pull ur fenders? jus curious...

oh n' have fun removing the middle leaf haha...

 

A hammer and a crowbar and a block of wood. took off my fenderliners though. If you can see in the pics there is not much wave in the body. I hammered it gently.

I tried taking off the middle leaf the other day. the center bolt got rusted in. couldn't remove them. so i had to put everything back together till i get/borrow a grinder

Did you guys replace the centerbolt? i have 4 leafs which ones should i take out to get 1 1/2" of drop? thanks

 

Finally lowered my rears. Ride quality sucks. Kept all my leafs. I have 1 inch of travel left.

Wish our trucks had on coils OEM instead of leafs and torsions. FML haha

Here is my timeline photos New Stance. | Facebook

 

looks good! what did you do to lower the back and keep all the leaf springs?
did you try soaking the center bolt with oil? sometimes you get lucky and it comes out...

 

That's probably because when you have weight back there, it shifted/ transferred the vehicle's whole weight towards the rear.

 

New photos

 

cool man cool

 

is it just me or does ur corner light have a lil bubble part that sticks out?

 

^^ yes it does. I noticed non USDM trucks have it (not all, though)


Truck is looking really good. Found any fenders yet?

 

Yes man the amber part is embossed. So is the 4x4 version here. No luck with the fenders yet. It's hard to find parts here in my country =(

 

Hope you find some soon. Do you have junk yards out there?

 

Few and far between. Very few
