Here is a pic Drew, you have maybe 1-2" after the bump stop before the frame starts dropping down.

Yeah, but look how low the strike plate hangs. you could move it forward about 10" or so.

There is nothing nice about them...
look what they are doing to the e-brake cable, the jackass that put them in never bothered to relocate the cable and its in a bind now.

I really don't like the idea of cutting the frame in half.
I dont think there would be a problem with it being on the angled part, Just cut one leg shorter so it stays flat. As long as the spring doesn't slap the frame, you'd be good. Isn't there supposed to be some rubber in there somewhere?

The bumpstop on that side is gone...

Just unloaded the truck off of a trailer here at my shop, took off across the pavement and when I turn the inside tire is churping, I would put $ on it that my (FUCKTARD) buddy Lincoln Locked this fucking truck. I sent him a text asking if he did and I hope to hell he didnt do the front too.
If he did it right and only welded the spider gears together and not to the carrier, then you should be able to pull it out and drop in an auto locker.
If not, I might have a third for you in the next month or so depending on what rig I get and how soon I'm able to swap for a Tacoma T-100 rear.

if thats what he did (and by that I mean my other buddy because this guy cant weld) then its not the first Yota that they have done it to, and they actually do a good job of it. I am just not a fan of it myself and would like to have a Sparten instead. I would like to drop some 4.88's in this piece anyway so I guess it doesnt really matter....
There were some vehicles with that axle that came stock with 4.88s. It will be cheaper to find a used one than to re-gear yours.if thats what he did (and by that I mean my other buddy because this guy cant weld) then its not the first Yota that they have done it to, and they actually do a good job of it.

4.88s = not low enough. Get 5.29s if you can find them, you loose some gear strength due to the pinion teeth having to be smaller to accomidate more teeth but the extra gearing is a huge help pushing large tires down the highway. You've got to keep in mind that with the 22R you are only working with a realistic 70-80 Hp at the wheels after parasitic drive train loss. Gear it as low as you can, plus those factory 4.88s are very rare and will likely cost you more that an aftermarket gear set.

When it comes time to do the gears we can hash this out....
Right now I just need to get it trail ready, I put it on the lift after a major pressurewashing and chanced the gear oil front/rear, regreased everything and hit most of the underside with black paint.
I only found one spot that was rusted threw and it's small, will be getting fixed when i weld on the chevy spring hangers, I'm also ditching the rusted cross member that the spare hung from and replacing it with some 6" flat stock.
