Trail Gear – Six Shooter Knuckles Kit – Toyota

Over a year in development and testing, this new knuckle design sets a new standard in Toyota knuckle strength and reliability. This kit totally eliminates the problem of broken steering knuckles and studs. The addition of two studs in each arm effectively prevents the steering arm from becoming loose and shearing off the studs. The knuckle housing is also thicker than stock and larger gussets have been added around the outside of the knuckle for extra strength. Precision CNC machined, each knuckle is direct bolt on, heavy duty replacement. Six Shooter Knuckles are sold as a pair and include our set of special 6 hole shims for use between the top of the knuckle and the steering arm. Also included is a 1/2&#34 coarse thread bolt to help remove the steering arms for knuckle service. To remove the steering arms, remove all 6 nuts, then install the bolt in the top of the arm. As the bolt is tightened, the steering arm is pulled up off the knuckle. Stock lower bearing plates and shims from your old knuckles are needed for knuckle assembly. A minimum of four additional steering arm studs are needed for installation. No questions asked, lifetime warranty on all knuckles, arms, and rods. Knuckle and steering arms are sold separately. In order to install all six studs, both knuckles and steering arm kits are required.

Trail-Gear – IFS Eliminator Kit, 3&#34 Springs 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup W/ 6-Stud Steering Arm Upgrade

Trail-Gear – IFS Eliminator Kit, 3&#34 Springs 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup W/ 6-Stud Steering Arm UpgradeThere are lots of choices on the market for solid axle conversion. So what makes our kits stand out? We feature the highest quality parts and the most complete kit at the best price anywhere. Our SAS kits include a front diff armor plate, upper axle gusset wheel bearing and knuckle service kits. Items most others charge extra for. To install your solid axle kit you&#39re going to need a rear matching lift kit, solid front axle from a 79-85 Pickup or 4Runner, and a long spline drive shaft. We offer our kits in three different heights. The hangers and shackles included with each kit add one inch of lift. Thus our 3&#34 spring kit has 4&#34 lift and our 4&#34 kit would be 5&#34 of lift. Note: On V6 installations, we recommend moving the front hanger forward 3/4&#34. This allows the tie rod to clear the stock 4wd oil pan. It also kicks the shackles forward slightly helping the springs to carry the heavier load of the V6 motor.
