    I thought i heard somewhere you could swap the 3rds. I think the only difference is the space in the diff to fit the actuator. hmm more research will be needed.

    On the 16x8 eagle alloys was 4.5" BSing. The 285/75/16 tires that i recently sold were rubbing at full lock. I will be keeping my 265/75/16 winters on them and getting 33x12.5/15 MT's on 15x8 steelies with 3.75 BSing. I have already tested them and they dont rub at full lock.

    Eventually i will. Once i box the frame i will be putting a crossmember in there too so i can mount the shocks like this \/

    How hard was it to get those hangers on right? I just got my all pro springs in and I was wondering if you just chopped your hangers and rewelded or if you bought some new ones to put on

    Not to post for him but i would go ahead and get new spring hangers. If i had to cut mind id get the trailgear creeper joint hangers. Plus im sure after you cut
    /torch the factory hangers they wont be worth trying to save a reweld back on

    I didnt do the install. I had a shop cut off the old hangers and re-weld the new ones. The Toyota hangers are very dinky so i would not use them again. I went with TG leaf spring hangers front and rear.

    Also the hangers need to be relocated. The All Pro springs are 3" longer than our 95-97 Tacoma springs. I believe its 2" forward and 1" back but not forsure. You can take a look at All Pro website for the details on that.

    Its a big job. And the measurements need to be pretty accurate.
