    anyone ever done the swap on an early first Gen. I.e. 95-97 taco? My rear springs are shot and I think I'm gonna give the Chevy swap a wirl for cost savings, and mostly curiosity. I've spent hours searching the interweb and read many posts on various forums including the huge one on pirate4x4, the problem is all the info I can seem to find is either for 95 and earlier pickups or 98 and newer tacos. Not much info for 95-97s specifically, I know the proper way is to run a plumb bob to the axel and measure to figure out where to mount the new hangers, but I'd like to have a baseline measurement to start with if someone has one. Also I've read that some models you need to move both the front and rear hangers and some just the front hanger, does anyone know which it is for the early tacos?

    thanks for any info
