I have an ifs steering box and a ifs steering box mount from marlin. I want to know if the 85 steering shaft will reach and fit and if the 85 power steering lines will work with the ifs box. Also the front suspesion is being lifted 3 inches is that enough lift for the hysteer setup to work properly? 1985 4runner Re: Hy steer on a 85 4runner?

The trick to doing this w/ low lift is to get the end of the pitman arm as close to the frame as possible. Good friend actually had Marlin create a pitman arm w/ reverse taper for his 85 w/ 2" lift. Brian K. Gallus I have nothing important to say. Re: Hy steer on a 85 4runner?
