1-ton toyota build

Rear progress

got the rear finished pretty much
-all-pro 6" lift springs
-lift shackles
-rear drop hanger ~2" for about 1" of lift
-stretched the rear back ~ 2 1/2"

:driver:pretty decent shackle angle...

I think you're gonna have issues with the rear shackle folding flat when the tire goes up... just how it looks from here...
 
I think the easy way of doing the front hanger is to use square tubing and some flat stock and some angle. I have converted two yotas and had good luck plus makes a good place to make a hitch in the front hanger but I am just lazy easy is allways better well until it breaks

the straps are wrenched down holding the spring pin in the spring plate on the axle... so this is how the shackle angle should look once the springs are broke in and the motor and tranny are in...

but what is wrong with the shackle angle? you're sayin its too much?
 
measure along the length of the spring, then take that number, add 1/4-1/2", and then go from the spring hangar to the back.. I think you'll find that it is too much.

That's a good angle for almost flat springs, those have a good bit of arch to them.

Hell, you might be just fine with it the way it is.. could be wrong.

finally, just about ready to drop her in... not too much show... maybe some chrome valve covers, of course msd dis/coil/wires will add a little color... jus spent most on the go factor:driver:
