I need some info on fabing up a braket to mount my IFS box on a 1980 Toyota.
Last year I ripped the Torque Rod right off the chassis(stock push pull set up). So now I have a big square hole. I looked at Marlins kit and I would have to fab up a plate for the back side to cover up the hole and mount my IFS box at the same time.

What size tubing/ length would I need to make the spacer and I need inside diameter as well?
Does anyone have a full size templete that can pass along my way. Making a templete seems easy enough to make. Just not sure how far forward and up to place it. I haven't got my Hi steer yet....so I would have to wait on that. I plane to use rears up front in addition to my front spring pack. I will be installing a drop hanger up front for a little more lift. Moving the drop hanger forward enough to get a better angle on the rear shackle if need be. My thoughts are to keep the leafs flat as possible to get more flex and not so much of a huge arch and loose flex.

thanks for any input....simple questions I know just that, I really need to know what size tubing to get and how thick do I need it? I too the stock IFS mounting bolts...would I need to get longer ones?
