I am running into center-link clearance issues with my motor swap... and wondering if there are any pitman arms out there that drop/lower center-link positioning? From other vehicles that are compatible?

thanks]]> 1 Thu, 06 Feb 2025 19:37:17 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/tubular-control-arms.6647/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/tubular-control-arms.6647/ invalid@example.com (Barret S) Barret S Tubular control arms. They are 800 bucks! For a toyota, are they worth the money and what is the benefit going from an oem control arm to a tubular better looking control arm? Is it purely cosmetics? Is the geometry of the parts the same as oem? I'm just trying to see if the benefit is worth the $800 bucks.]]> 19 Wed, 21 Feb 2024 00:14:14 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/87-build-ideas.30600/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/87-build-ideas.30600/ invalid@example.com (Fabi1044) Fabi1044 17 Fri, 24 Nov 2023 18:49:01 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/camber-shims-for-drop-spindles.30023/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/camber-shims-for-drop-spindles.30023/ invalid@example.com (Justin Danger) Justin Danger 52 Tue, 20 Dec 2022 18:13:36 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/steering-column-coupling-rubber-donut.29397/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/steering-column-coupling-rubber-donut.29397/ invalid@example.com (mckidyl) mckidyl

I have belltech drop leafs and 5inch blocks (don't make fun of me); with the ma803 the rear sits just a touch higher (aired out completely) than the factory (blown prolly) length shock.

Not a great picture but might as well.

So I'd like to use air shocks...but what do folks use with a setup lower than mine in the rear? Will the truck sit lower if I find more low in it? How do I find...

Issue is I’ve been having a bit of trouble finding a ton of info so I hope you can help. I’m after a 3rd Gen hilux so 1978-1983 2wd, gas, manual, 2 door, Long or short bed don’t really care. To what I’ve been able to find that’s falls under the n30 and n40 models. But more specifically rn32, rn34, and rn41 I believe. I really have no idea what the difference between...

just wondering if anyone is running the OME complete kit for solid axel RN60. I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension later in the year.

Now I’m looking to improve cornering performance as much as possible.

Anyways I picked up some sway a way 25mm torsion bars and I’m looking to pair them with the stiffest valved front shocks possible.

I did some research on here and the two top shocks I see mentioned are the kyb monomax meant 84-95 trucks and the kyb gas adjust...
