ok, im bobbing and adding chevy springs. (4runner)

by looking at it i could extend my frame and move the rear axle back alittle. Looks to be about 3 inch, and then cut the wheel wells out to allow the tyres to fit. I was thinking this would inprove the break over angle even more, anyone done this or am i wasting my time?

It would HURT your breakover angle, but help the departure angle.

oooops thats what i meant.


anyway, i thinking with the front axle foward an 1 1/2 inch and the rear back say...2 1/2 i am 4 inch longer in the wheel base.

drive line raised 2 inch.


Am i getting to long?

IMO... I'd be PITA.. If you want more wheelbase redrill the perches and run offset pin springs.. that'll get ya 3" and it looks cool as hell......:skull:

I agree w/ Tin Bender's Goat. I just moved my front axle 2.5" forward by redrilling my perch and plate & will move my rear back 3" tomorrow. It looks badass, my spring hangers will be much harder to hit now.

Your wheelbase is the same as my Reg. Cab p/u and gaining WB on a 'Runner wouldn't be bad, especially if you consider that overhanging rear you got.

the over hang is getting removed so i hope to have little over hang at all :cool: :cool: :cool:

Nice! Moving your rear axle back a few inches still wouldn't hurt! Sounds like this is going to be a cool 'Runner! Good Luck! :beer:

fyi, your tailgate wont fit anymore depending how much you bob and if you've got a huge bodylift.....brad

got the tail gate sweet, no dramas there, and it has a 2 inch body lift.

Hey nick sorry to throw a spanner in your works but if your going to extened the frame and move axle back 3" and then bob wont the frame stick out past the body?:confused:

no it will be about 3 inch and the frame will be to the edge of the tail gate, cut the frame on 45 angles and it will open and close sweet.

run a 4x2 beam frame to frame accross the back and gusset the frame where it is cut.


Yeah i am full of ideas, not good ones, but ideas:flipoff2: :flipoff2:
