OP
Need a Spot

would like to take a poll should the lift come with the new upper control arms for torsion bars that are equal length to the lowers or coilovers?

That is freakishly tall... I kinda like it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I am VERY pleased you turned out to be real. I officially apologize for calling BS on you, but I have seen fakers pop up a few times in the past. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

F'ING right! I'd be pretty pissed at all the people that talked all that smack. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I applaud you for your efforts guy! It looks a little awkward, have you considered doing something a little more practical, like a 4 or 5 inch suspension lift? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Late 80s/Early 90s Toyota 4x4s had torsion bars to the UCA. Would this be a viable solution for your lift?

Late 80s/Early 90s Toyota 4x4s had torsion bars to the UCA. Would this be a viable solution for your lift? thats how they came from the factory, on 86-95 lifts they do a drop LCA and a taller spindle to attach to the UCA It would be a but more complicated starting from scratch.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Whoa! That is tall. I too appreciate your efforts being directed towards Monteros. 10" is a lots of lift. Do you plan on making smaller versions? I'd like to see pics opf a couple of things; 1. the steering set-up 2. linkage between the front and rear lift brackets (for want of a better name). In the pics it does looks as though the brackets (white parts) are not connected and are attached to the truck by one bolt on each side with a bushing. Seems that would fold under the truck pretty easily with the 10" long 'lever'. May be the pics don't do it justice. Can we see more detail? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Just an observation, but do you think the new mount for the LCA should be boxed in? from the pick, it looks like to ears hanging down with the lca + bushing between. maybe just closing the back side so it is more like a C frame? I could be wrong, but it seems like the same setup could be made for gen1's too:)
