Well hell should be easy as cake then

And apparently there is a distinction between a lincoln lock and a fozzy lock

Lincoln



Fozzy

Option 2 is the better of the 2 ideas, you want to avoid welding on the carrier as it is cast and will likely crack if welded on.

I'd just spend $250 on a Spartan and call it a day. If you f* up a carrier its about 100 to replace.

If I fuck up the carrier, I'll just move up my plan to install the V6 axle from the 4Runner.

 

[murphyz]

but then what goes into the runner?

 

[murphyz]

hard to have a DD that has no rear axle

 

[drew02a]

but then what goes into the runner?

The T100 axle that I'm getting from Randy

 

[murphyz]

what!!! nice find! easy switch right?

 

[drew02a]

Not "easy", but not too hard either. I'm gonna do a leaf spring conversion, so I'll have to:
-cut off all the existing suspension frame mounts
-Add 2 mounts per side for the leaf springs
-weld spring perches to the axle

i keep forgetting your runner is a 2nd gen...
that will make lifting it a lot easier than coils. especially lift with flex!

The biggest benefit will be for towing

 

[murphyz]

how so? weight bearing load?

 

[drew02a]

how so? weight bearing load?

And stability/ body roll

 

[murphyz]

huh, didnt think stability would be better with a leaf but that is because i have never had a coil rear in a truck/suv... just a 86 and a 89 runner.

good to know
