    JBA shorty headers / Koyorad stainless radiator / Belltech street performance lowering struts,shocks / Airlift 72000 wireless air leveling compressor / Firestone air bags.
    This is by no means my first time on this forum, ive used the advice and knowledge from this community many times over the years to keep my truck on the road. So thank you! Here is the issue, i want a new truck but don't want the payment that comes with it, sooo how about installing a 3'' lift with 35''ish tires to do some off road camping with momma without worrying about gutting my undercarriage on a pebble. (Not possible in its current configuration!) Thinking about using Toytec 2-3'' Aluma series Boss suspension system w/ SPC adjustable control arms. The issue is, When i originally lowered the truck 5 years ago i wasn't planning on lifting it later on down the road. I.E. i fabricated new spring perches and air bag brackets to allow me to haul a 5th wheel. (I know, i did this ALL backwards!) Basically, i need pictures of how the rear leaf springs are originally supposed to be so i can reverse the process... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!IMG_0002.jpg

    With that truck being so long I personally think a 4-6" lift would look best with new rims and tires. If interested I could send some links over

    Leaf springs should go on TOP on the axle

    Looks like your neighbor has it figured out, a Jeep to offroad, and an FJ to rescue it when it breaks down.
