I have a 94 Toyota that had a 3" body lift and a 4" suspension lift on 35" BFG Mud Terrains. I cut out the IFS and put in an 85 toyota axle that I rebuilt with 529's and Warn huds. I put Rancho leaf springs in the front and 3/4 ton chevy leafs in the rear. Bilstein shocks with 14" travel in the front and 12" in the rear. The truck now sits about 6" taller and is now on 37" MTR's.

You gonna run dual cases? Why not 1/2 ton springs?

Dual cases will come later and I used 3/4 springs because the second leaf down is full length - meaning it runs all the way to each mount. This helps with axle wrap and adds strength to the whole spring; it won't break as easily.

Do you remove any leafs to get more flex out of em?

That looks sick I have an '89 Toyota 4x4 pickup non-cab.
I've been tempted to lift it but the 17 mpg sucks..

Also, I don't even pay attention to the mpg on the truck anymore, but I think it's around 15 or 16. That's why I have the mustang - 4.10's and I still get around 20 mpg.
