That looks fantastic!
What shackles did you use in the back for the Chevys? And, the hanger for the rear shackles seems like its abnormally farther back than the ones I've seen - am I seeing it wrong?

The rear shackles are from Sky Manufacturing. They sell a chevy spring swap kit that includes eveything needed to do the swap minus springs. As for the rear shackle i just kind of eye balled it. I helped E-ROC do the swap on his truck using the recomended measurments but I wasn't to impressed with how the angle turned out so i just took mine to the end of the frame and it worked out to my liking. With the shackles so far back the truck sits almost level. But the 4runner frame is shorter than a truck so it looks realy far back in the pics.

So the yota decided it didn't want to go to work today. It ejected the exhaust system on the freeway!
new system (good thing flowmasters are built like tanks)
Plus this givesme a reason to bump the thread.

Oh yeah and for those of you that keep asking me about my rear shackle angle and ride highth here are som picks of where the new mounts are compared to what's left of the old ones.

it's just an easier way to get more articulation out of the rear axle without running longer shocks threw the floor boards. but you loose some of the dampening ablity of the shocks when they are mounted like that.
