What all do I have to make/move/whatever to use waggys on my 84 yota? Haven't decided whether I'm going to use them in the front or rear yet, how's it work for either end? About the only thing I do know is that the springs will be waggys and I want to keep the lift height relatively low.

They will bolt right in and move your front end forward about a inch. I had them on my truck but it was more lift than I wanted. About 4-5 inches.

Rear D44's are paper thin. Truss or retube. Yes.
if you run them, make sure you orientate them correctly... the first time i put them on my truck, i put them on backwards and the axle was a little bit back from normal and they lifted if quite a bit... then i realized they were wrong and flipped them around. now the axle is forward and that lowered the truck down a good 2" from what it was.
huh? wrong thread maybe... :eeek:

mark hit it on the head, stock waggy fronts move your front end about an inch forward... you will have to relocate your rear spring mount forward because the waggy's are longer then stock toyota springs, i got a solid 4in lift out of my waggy's that didn't last long, they were basiclly flat after a summer of abuse
Flat is good though. I'm looking for droop ability more than anything. I dig the low ride height of waggy's as far as what i've seen. i'll only be running 32s maybe 33s even with the springs so flat is fine.

ya i loved them, besides all the shitty axle wrap and hop i had:redneck: my toy on 40's sat about the same height as my buddies stock toy with 33's and two inch longer shackles
Would the axle wrap be worse or less with little bitty tires? And in either case what could I do to control it? How much would a big old fatty overload type leaf help?
Edit: And another thing, can I get away with using my stock spring hanger up front and run these if I use some 5" boomerang type shackles?
