      or are you suggesting to use them both front and rear?

        Just in the rear. I have OME 881 with 5mm trim packers each side on front with the standart links and it's fine.

          I have extended link options for these.

          We put 30mm longer links Front & Rear in our 95 when we did the lift a few weeks ago.
          If anyone wants longer than that, it is no probs. We have a few options we can offer.

          Regards, Jason.

            Here is a couple of pics of the links on ours.

            The Standard link is stretched even on the STD suspension at droop.

            New longer links on rear. Allow more Droop & dont bind up like the old ones.

              Thanks for the info Jason. I've updated the links on the first page.

              I look forward to trying them out this weekend

                    Replace the upper arms with aftermarket ones from USA. It moves the upper arms higher, and the spindle (vertical part) will be further away.

                    There's a few different ones to choose from. I installed the SPC Light Racing ones:

                      Hi Glen,

                      Will it impact on the drive shaft length?
                      Since we are moving the upper arm to come out from body..

                      Just my sense.

                        Hi Glen,

                        I just have read tru some and found there is full lift kits as below.

                        http://www.btv4x4.com/btv/products.php

                        Seem like this if you change the upper arm, you have to change the part below as well.
                        What do you think?

                          That kind of suspension lifts are Drop Bracket style and I don't like it. For me are useless and serves only for car show or looks. You have to cut the chassis and is no turning back.

                          Cheers

                            Don't worry that won't be a problem, the hub isn't moving further away (unless you adjust the camber to do so), it's more of a change in the ball joint design and spacing.

                            I mostly agree with what MDST has said, except, that I think they may be ideal for some people who spend most of their time in muddy tracks. If you drive harsher terrain like rocks, I've always felt any bigger than 33's is too much strain on the drive line - and I guess I've proved that by breaking multiple CV's on rocks. However, in your country, you probably have a lot of muddy tracks, and your vehicle modification rules are probably more relaxed than ours... if that's the case, why not consider it?

                            Anyway, if you're keen on a kit like that I'd recommend you contact them, because there's simply not enough information on the site to decide whether any of the kits are suitable for the Prado.

                              Glen, full read the following link:

                              http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...es-here-3.html

                              Wheeling in the rocks and over a year without breaking. They are damn expensive but is a good option and more for you since you have arb on front.

                              Cheers

                                Thanks for the info MDST... but for now, I'm going to stick with my weak link theory

                                I have no doubt stronger CV's are possible, and that they'll take me further down the track, but it'll definitely increase the stress applied to other parts. Then, which parts will be next to break; Diff? Prop shaft? Transfer case? Steering tie rod end? Hub/spindle? For the moment, I feel more comfortable to simply bring a spare CV. Maybe I'll change my tone if/when I get past 10 breakages like the USA guys are.
