    Cant hit it on a lunch break? 8:30-5:30 here. I just asked the dude for a thread check tool and went out to my truck and matched it up, cant remember off the top of my head what the pitch is though :(. He went in the back and grabbed me a nut and washer.

    How much lower do you want to go?

    If you're only looking for another inch or so, QA1 coilovers would be cheaper than spindles, and arguably could give you better handling and ride characteristics than spindles.

    Personally, I've given some though to some custom fabricated control arms and coilovers, or maybe converting it over to a McPherson style strut somewhat like that ETS drift hilux.

    Is factory spec 105 ft/lbs? On the six lugs it is 85. That just seems strange that it would be so much higher.

    Factory spec for lugnuts is something like 84 or 86 ft/lbs. (for first gen 5 lugs) I had to look it up on the alignment machine in class.

    We had to do everything to factory spec like that in my Suspension and steering class i just finished here at school.
