TJM front and rear shocks, King springs heavy duty in the front and Dobinsons 300kg heavy duty in the rear. Then, to lift the front more I put a 20mm strut spacer in to match the rear. All up about 60mm lift

yeah, is a bit haha, but i find it stays a bit leveler when flexing though rough sections since the front moves so much easier,Originally posted by glen_ep View Post1997 3.4 V6 Rv. mods; 1 1/2 inch bodylift, 285/75/R16 cooper STTs, 16x8 sunraysia style black steel rims '0' offset, 2 inch heavy duty springs, bilstein shocks (80 series rear), GME remote mounted UHF.Comment

Yes it would be better in general rough terrain.. but what about cross camber tracks? They already scare the crap out of me.. I wouldn't want it to tilt over any more.Originally posted by draycon View Postglen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90Comment

Here's one from the other day. Its nothing special compared to some of the custom suspension setups here (Draycon), but it's still better than the cruddy flex of the 120 series.

just decided im going to extend my rear sway bar in the next few weeks, but turn them into a quick disconnect setup, and swap over to a shaft mounted bumpstop, to get the absolute max travels from the longer rear shocks. then ill get some more shots for everyone.1997 3.4 V6 Rv. mods; 1 1/2 inch bodylift, 285/75/R16 cooper STTs, 16x8 sunraysia style black steel rims '0' offset, 2 inch heavy duty springs, bilstein shocks (80 series rear), GME remote mounted UHF.Comment

finally got it flexed out properly, just posed on a rock. i think it was pretty close if not at its limit
decided i didnt need to do a rear sway bar extension or disconnect when it already flexs like this hahaAttached Files1997 3.4 V6 Rv. mods; 1 1/2 inch bodylift, 285/75/R16 cooper STTs, 16x8 sunraysia style black steel rims '0' offset, 2 inch heavy duty springs, bilstein shocks (80 series rear), GME remote mounted UHF.Comment

I'm running 80 series gear in the rear and have awesome flex as well but have the issue of the tailshaft hitting the subtank stone guard. Here is some pics of what I have done but am yet to test it properly

Whao that rear certainly is moving! Will you need extended control arms and panhard rod...?glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90Comment

The only real issue is tyre scrub on the inside of the wheel arch, but not bad. Everthing else looks ok for now.
did you ever have issues with your front driveshafts spiting out grease? As soon as i lifted it they spat grease everywhere, but boots not split, then I dropped the diff which was better but then the boots split cause they were hard. I ve had all boots replaced and cv's rebuilt but over the weekend I went for a run to Ingleburn and back down the M7 and they have leaked a little, the mechanic checked them today and said it was ok, not much grease came out though90Series GXL 3.4L V6 - Snorkel, sports muffler, 3" suspension lift, 285's, 30mm diff drop, Brown Davis bash plate.
