Cut in half and add heavy duty tractor turn buckle, then they become adjustable

Y'all are crazy, order some parts from someone like Barnes or ruff stuff and just build the links, not hard to do and should be very cheap for adjustable upper/lower links

Currently liking Sonoran Steel lower links. They are non adjustable, larger DOM, and welded above centerline for more clearance. This is not the cheapest option at $322 but is a good long term use option. I will just swap out the upper control arm bushings with stock bushings again.

Oh, I like those! Did you ever protect the mount.? Mine were taking a beating. Never had a problem with the arms.. guess I have been lucky. Since I installed these, the mounts seem to, hold up better.. they haven’t been smashed any worse anyways..

This is EXACTLY what I am thinking. That being said I believe I have some end links I might want to sell. Pretty sure these are the ones I bought. Forged Ballistic Rod End

2 right handed threaded and 2 left handed.
Add some 2" 1/4" wall or 2.25 3/16" wall tube.

It is not a war crime the first time.

Only argument against that setup is people have reported they get more vibrations into the cabin on the 4Runner. If anything I would stay stock bushing on the cabin side and creeper on the axle end.

But for the little amount of time I have free right now a bolt in solution is nice. When I have the time I do not have the money. When I have the money I do not have the time.

You've got it backwards you want the hard joint on the frame side and the bushing on the axle side. Only down side i can think of is you might have to drill out some bolt holes to take some larger SAE bolts

:facepalm:good point, but would be handy around the house, I have a couple cans I need to vent.

I have a small gas can for the mower that is setup with a vent. The big cans get left with no fuel in them and the lid just a little loose so as to not trap air in them. So nope... no vents here. I have had an issue with a vent cap that came off when going down the road allowing the wind to siphon out the fuel. It made a large mess and cost me a 1/4 can of fuel along with everything smelling like fuel.
