    I purchased some 3" drop blocks from Belltech for my '92 and they don't seem to fit because the holes/alignment stubs on the blocks are too small of a diameter. Does Belltech actually sell the correct blocks for these Toyotas or am I just wasting my time? Has anyone used the Belltech 3" lowering blocks on a 1989-1994 pickup?

    Yes i did and i think i know your problem! Once you lift the axle up and out of the way of the leaf springs youll notice a mount on the top of he springs that went between them and the axle. All you have to do is take it off. Just get a pry bar or flat screwdriver and pry it up and off the leafs. Then the blocks should fit over the center bolt nicely, and you can put it all back together with the new U bolts!

    Hahaa great thanks, because I totally cut up those old rusty U bolts. I was gonna just get the spring shop to put in a new center bolt but not anymore. You saved me enough for a luchtime McDonalds meal bud!

    No pics. You don't wanna see this shi** anyways because it is just a '92 extracab painted blue and sittin on a big piece o rust. That is why I am not bagging it. Static drops are cheap so I can still rep low minis across the land. BTW this is not my only truck
