Nice, looks like quite the project.
Is that the 4crawler shaving kit? I've been eyeing that one.

Whats the overall gain, you got, from being shaved ?
(insert joke here)
Yup. Very nice kit. Took about 5 hours.Originally Posted by slosurfer

The ladies love it, and, of course, shaving makes it look better.Originally Posted by 4runnerchevy
LOL.
Its supposed to be an inch. Which would translate into 2" increase in tire size.
I have my doubts, so, once its all ready to go under, I'm going to measure my stock housing currently on the truck at 30psi, and then the shaved housing. We'll see if its as much as they claimed.

Not really the problem. My internet is slow. However, if Flicker/yahoo uploads faster, then I'm switching for sure.Originally Posted by NorCalBorn

No worries, the truck looks good and I think this will make a real tangible improvement.
I have not seen a lot of press on the "cut everything open and improve clearance" mod.
Keep up the good work and I will work on getting down if you need a hand.

Updates:
Got the rear suspension out, and the new stuff in:
After finishing the rear axle up, I cleanup up a bit, did a lot of organizing, and turned the truck around. Also, due to the extreme generosity of a friend, I picked up a 14" abrasive chop saw for a six pack of beer.
So, I took off my rear axle, and cleaned my frame:
I also began fabbing my frame side bracketry.
Here are my frame plates:
And the back "plates" (rectangular tubes) that will be where the tabs weld to, along with the plates and some square tubular gussets:
And the last of my bling arrived via the UPS man:
18" 300 lb/inch coils
