BLKNBLU .. Yea im kinda on the cheep side too. I allready decided to reuse my stock shackels.

I looked at the Link, please forgive me but I have no idea how thoses numbers on the hardware translate. IM sure I do not go to the local hardware store and say I need a 90105-14025

I went to Marlin to look into some more bushings... whice bushings am I missing? The kit I got has 8 , 4 per side 2 per end .. right? I want to get everything I need before I do this. What am I missing?

And I went to trailgear .. never saw a section just for hardware.. and well see above for other problem with whice ones ..

Again, please Forgive me , woking on a 4runner is fairly new. I can tear down an old chevy or Pontiac with my eyes closed but not so much this.

Also thanks sooooo very much for everones replies and helping me on this.

Shackle hangers take bushings as well, if you plan on replacing them, so 2 springs, 2 eyes and 1 hanger per spring:

Having done 5 or 6 sets of springs on these 4x4 vehicles all I can say is good luck.In the salt belt of PA

I have never been able to get any of the hardware apart. This is with a few good sprayings with kroil

Getting the nuts off is easy the bolts just are so corroded to the inner bushing metal shells they don`t come out. Warning some of the new bushings require you to reuse the old metal shells.

Since I use only stock height I now just buy the Toyota Shackle kits and all new hardware cut every thing off with the zip disc.

Getting the old stuff off is all the work the new springs go back in quick

x2 on this one. See my build thread for my fiasco. A good investment for your time is a set of greasable shackle bolts.
P.S You can also get greasables for the spring hangers as well. I need to get a set for mine before winter.
