Lifted Toyota Front Suspension Upgrade, Fixing Dangerous Weak Points

Подробнее о видео

Fixing big weak points in the independent front suspension of 4Runners, FJ Cruisers, and Tacomas. We're going to show you what they are, and how we're going to fix those problems, on our 4Runner. These are important upgrades
for lifted toyotas.

This is a breakdown of what parts we'll be using:
New spindle to replace the one Merri bent, OEM
Spindle gussets so it doesn't happen again: Total Chaos that allows for the swaybar, from ToyTec Lifts.
Cam tab gussets; because they're weak and we've got a couple that are bent, Total Chaos from ToyTec Lifts.
Lower control arms: Dirt King, *much stronger, *sealed HD ball joint that's easily replaceable, *greaseable and won't squeak like other popular joints, *greaseable inner bushings, and *built-in aluminum skid plates.
Cambolts and washers: SPC from ToyTec, because new ones never hurt.
Swaybar Links: the newest version from Overland Custom Design. closest we've seen to OEM joints but with a much stronger stem.
Little stuff: new bearing seals, zinc primer to prevent rust on spindles and frame until welding is done, 14 & 12mm bolts and nuts for holding gussets on spindles while fitting and welding, Wheel spacers, 1 1/4" Spidertrax, To clear spindle gussets with stock wheels. We'll get new rims with proper back spacing later.
