    What does "LSPV" stand for??? Are you talking about the rear brake proportioning valve bracket???

    Yes. It technically called the Load sensing proportioning valve. But no worries I got one coming :cool:

    Alright guys i got it almost all done, only things im missing are my lspv bracket for the brakes and my shocks :facepalm: reason my shocks are missing is because allpro shipped me ones with the wrong bushings in them (too small) so i'll ream them bigger tomorrow....suprisingly my iPhone took some bitchin pictures except for one cause i fell off the tire i was standing on :spy:

    so this was the begining of my nightmare. there is a bunch of oil looking spots all over because i've spent the last 3 days soaking everything with toyota penitrating lube (awesome stuff)

    IMG_0033.jpg


    i first was going to drop both springs and do them at the same time but the axle started to slip out of the driveline yoke while removing the u bolts.. so i decided one at a time.

    IMG_0035.jpg

    shock unbolted. now it was time for the battle.. so pretty much everything you see is ORIGINAL (226,000 miles ago :D) the shackle bots were somewhat easy to come off but the spring bolts were a different story

    IMG_0036.jpg

    Both of these bolts(one on each spring) was completely seized in, so pretty much the grinder and a hack saw became my best friend for a while

    IMG_0038.jpg

    after everything was bolted back up, brake line installed and brakes bled. this is how she is now.

    IMG_0040.jpg

    its alittle high in the rear. soon as the atv is put in, it will level out.
    so because i don't have my lspv bracket yet, ALL of my brake power is in the front two wheels :eek: makes it pretty scary to stop at a red light. oh and surprisingly these springs with no shocks ride EXTREMELY nice compared to the factory ones.
    hopefully here soon ill be getting some new wheels and tires to better fill the huge space i have now created :cool:

    They are just 31 1050 M/Ts... It's wired with the brakes it either won't stop or it just nose dives like crazy

    Toytec doesn't say. It says perfect for 2 1/2 inch lifts. So hopefully it'll work for mine. If not I'll take the measurements from it and make a bigger one

    It'll be tight, wouldn't take much to custom make one though.

    It'll work, but it'll still need an inch from the center of the bolt holes to make things feel like they used to

    Throw it on and see how you like it first and then if not it's not hard to make one up
