Getting the Wheeling Fever
I remembered a thread on how to swap in toyota leaf spinrgs and maybe shackles too from a specific kit. I checked the tech page and nothing about this mod/upgrade.
If anyone has done this successfully and or knows about an instructional thread it'd be super great to have those links.
I'm looking to buy the kit so if a link to that can be posted as well that'd be great.

Yes, the Toyota shackles work to give some raise. I don't have any recollection of using Toy rear springs, though. I have installed Toyota shackles, ala Conferr, on the rear of my Mighty Max.

I've looked around at other threads and starting to find stuff. Seems like i'm not the only one who recalls the 2 inch toyota leaf spring lift for the gen 1. Found a guy looking for it on pirate 4x4.

Body Damage is Cool
Summit Racing has some shackles for a Toyota pickup that give a 2"lift. Nice solid piece too!

Now we're talking. Thanks Mudraider!
Any links or part number you could post on those shackles?
Searching on Summit racing isn't turning any results.

That's super helpful! thanks for the links gentlemen!
This will help my research for my Yoshi.

One last question.
ANyone know if this site is still being run? Not really seeing a number posted, otherwise I'd call.
Looks like the 10 body mount kit would cover it on my SWB 87 Raider.
Anyone familiar with these kits and can provide info on em?

Ideally id like to go with the 2" HD10 kit+shift lever extensions+extra long hardware+ Prothane red polyurethane bushings+new leaf springs and new shackle to frame mounts.
