Hello everyone I recently installed an old man emu Shocks and leaf springs front and back kit on my 1984 Toyota pick up I had to remove the torque rod to be able to drop the front axle enough to install the leaves now it’s really difficult to install the torque rod back I zip tied the torque rod as an example to show how little I’m off to where the bolt can’t slide in place. Any tips?? Should I buy a slightly skinnier bolt? Any suggestions will be much appreciative thank you

 

Hi there
Seems I went through this same problem, but, it's been over 2 years since I did it. I believe what I had to do was to raise the truck (use jack stands under the frame) and loosen all the bolts to the front leaf springs, and also loosen the shocks at the top. Then you should be able to move the axle and get the torque rod in. I also had some interference with the torque rod and the sway bar when I went to put the sway bar in. The sway bar makes contact with the torque rod, not the way I think it should be but that's the way it is.
Good luck, keep us informed
