Default ball joint spacers

A lot of 4Runner drivers use ball joint spacers to get about 1-2 inches of lift out of the front of their rig. The 86-94 ( i believe) run IFS with Torsion bars, so they are all just as screwed as us for lift in the front. Most people prefer the ball joint spacer over cranking the T-bars

Has anybody here heard of using a ball joint spaceron a D? Is there such a product?

Never heard of it myself but keep me updated on that because I'd like more options to think over since I'll be doing my lift very soon. [8D]

I don't have much free time right now.....in fact I've been on here too much today already....I have midterms tomorrow and early next week.....but I will prolly do some reading (online of course) before I go to bed. If you have time to kill just go here http://www.yotatech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=116 and look for IFS lift, or something like that. I'm not a member of the forum, so I dont know if i can search or not. I'll post up anything I come across though

O mine are still good....I was just adressing jonny's point about OEM D balljoints being total crap. I havent had much time to do more research lately, but I'll have plenty this weekend, unless I'm gettin wasted

I am very sure that they can not work on our rigs. The way our ball joints are set up the weight is under not over. The ball joint replacements are all steal.
