hello im new to this site and i hope to be here for a while so here is my first question
ok i have a 85 toyota 4x4 and i have been looking around this site for a few days now just reading up on some stuff and tring to figure out a plan for a lift.
so here is my plan/question.... will the chevy leafs in the back with longer shackles,and the toyota rears in the front with longer shackles, with longer shocks? will that work

what shocks do you guys recomend?
will i have to change any steering componets? if so what componets?
and where do i need to weld the new shackle hangers?
any other tips?

the truck will be used as a dd/camping/offroad truck i have other cars to drive if this one brakes

:D thanks for any help:beer:

You will need to do crossover steering with rears up front.

Yes, but they move the axle forward. So you NEED crossover steering. Personally I just go with the cheap shocks, mine doesn't see much street anyway. For the chevies get the front hanger from Trail-Gear and move it 11" forward eye-to-eye.
