Wow, not bad. Have a look at mine. I have installed a D44 front and Ford9" from a 66' Bronco with Spools and 5.83 gears. I also run 35" MudRover tires from Dunlop and a Twin stick convert to go 2WD low.





What do you think ??? ;D
 NO PIC. HERE  ???

here found this at another fourm, thought it might help.

Axle info - Toyota

Stock Toyota front axle measurements for comparison:
55.5" wide, 29" spring perch centers, '79-85 Toyota trucks and 4runners
63.5" wide, (set up for coil springs) 90-97 FJ80 and FZJ80 Landcruisers
'86-95 IFS front end is about 58.5" wide
'93-98 T100 IFS front end is about 65" wide

Toyota Rear Axle Widths:
55" wide, '79-85 4wd trucks/4runners - 6 Lug
58" wide, '86-95 4wd trucks/4runners - 6 Lug
56" wide, '79-95 2wd Trucks - 5 Lug
60.75" wide, '95.5-up Tacomas/4runners
66.75" wide, '93-98 T100 trucks

stu


So FJ80's look like the choice to widen up the trackwidth AND to gain extra beefiness, without total custom fab stuff.  (thanks for the WMS info)  I never dug into it until now.  
That'd give ya bout 3 inches of extra width on each side.  (no more need for offset rims)  Keep the tires off of the frame and shocks.  Provide better stability, no need to inboard the shocks, etc, etc, etc..


THANKS!

He attached the upper link to the radius arm.  Is this ok?  
The angle of the diff won't move like a true 3 link suspension, such as on the rear of a Kick.

It reminds me of how the RRO setup is up front... there's just the two links (it looked like) with 2 bushings on the end of each link. Or at least that's what some of nc_zuk's pics made it look like :)

I see how part of it works. 2 main links from frame to axle, 1 link each side from main link to top of axle.

He'd still need a trac bar, and the upper links look kinda weak where they attach to the lower links, maybe unfinished and yet to be braced in the pic.

Rig looks sweet though! I love SA Kicks

(Just reread the post)

What size tubing are you using for the radius arm? I have heard of the links breaking or tearing off under load. Brace it good.

You need to find someone, or some place that you can host pics from... For example, say cardomain.com. It sucks, but it works.. Upload the pics to car domain, then view your pic, right click, select properties, then copy the link to the pic.

Then, go to where you want to make your post with the pic and paste the link and add in the IMG tags.. Or, drag over and highlight the link, and click the button above...  

IMG tags should be "[ img]" at the beginning of the link, with "[/img]" at the end of the link. No spaces between the tags and the link on either side...  ;)
