I figured out an easier way to calculate were to put the front spring hanger on a chevy swap.Here is what I thought.
The stock rear Toyota 4x4 springs until '88 were about 48" long with an offset center pin. Meaning that the rear to center pin is 27.5". And center pin to front of spring is 20.5". Now considering the chevys are 63" long with a centered pin. So from rear to pin it is 31.5". Same for the front too. Now take the 31.5" from the chevy spring and minus that with 20.5" from center pin to front of Toyota spring. 31.5"-20.5"=11" You get 11"! That is were you place the new hanger to get perfect stock location. Simple huh? Hope this helps people. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
