Nope, you will need to use the wheel bearing nuts and washer from the 4runner as well...in all in all, they're not worth having. Auto hubs are great until you gotta back out of a stuck spot in 4wd and you cant because the front wheels unlock as soon as you begin moving backwards...and chances are they will stop working right when you really need the 4wd.

Dang...tell me, with the 4 inch lift springs plus the 6 inch shackles, did you have to make any adjustments to the rear drive line? Did the superlift springs have the wedge shim that angles the pinion up? And how gutless is the 3.0 driving 38s?

well.... the springs came with the shim, plus the shackles rotated the pinion a little too, actually the pinion is almost parallel with the drive line, which i dont really like cause it makes it hard to fill the diff.... i still have the stock driveline in and havent had a single problem with it yet.
gutless? i think not! i have faith in my 3vze. but my truck actually came stock with 4.56's so it still gets up and goes like with 33's, the issue is the tires are very used and very bald and SO out of balance i cant go above 35 or the truck will literally bounce off the road. its not good

oh duh...it didnt occur to me that the shackles drop only the rear of the springs....I'ma dumbbutt
It's funny you say that about the rear diff, my driveways sloped perfectly so that with the shim and my 5" shackles the pumpkins perfectly level hehe

the torsion bars were not touched in this setup.i dont think the original owner touched any of that either.should have put the track bar drop bracket in to help alleviate the date the driveshaft and gas tank went on.

New rims...first pic posted.
I inherited this in July 08. I still had to do a lot of drivetrain work. I'm not done. I've got a 3" body lift to throw on it. I just got these rims today, and my son (7)and I took it straight to the mud. The Dunlops work great. They are 31-10.5's. 15x10 rim. Hopefully the pic will post....let's see!
