How to Make Toyota 4x4 Extended length Brake Lines for lifts and long travel suspension.

[craigodorius]

I've used this before flawlessly. If you feel good about your local pick and pull its even cheaper. You can also use front lines from early 90's Nissan 300z's.....however your Toyota will probably self destruct when using inferior Nissan parts even if they are made by the same manufacturers. Fact...

@craigodorius It's all good man. Cheap tricks that work are what its all about! I use the Nissan barbed breather trick to make extended axle breathers on my Toy axles. They have the right threading to go right into the Toyota axle housing to give you a nice fitting to attach a hose to to extend the breathers up higher in the event you cross deep water.

Hi!! I have a 86 runner and i wanna make a 4 inch lift the cheape way as posible whath you sugest me for thath o you have any tutorial?? Thanks you make very helpful vids!!

@ TIAR6969 I'll be working on an '87 4runner this summer so stay tuned for videos. I'll be swapping in a solid axle and putting in around 3-4" of flexy suspension lift to run 36x12.5 swampers. As for cheap lift. I don't mess with IFS front suspension. I rock crawl so the stock IFS stuff just gets cut off and replaced with a solid front axle. There really isn't a cheap way to do a 4" lift on an IFS truck unless you crank the torsion bars up and run a body lift.

I'm not a fan of body lifts larger than 2" becuase of the strain it puts on the body mounts. I'll be running some longer leaf springs in the rear of my runner and swapping in a solid front axle that will be heavily modified to survive low gears, locker, and a crawl-box. I'll also put in a 1" body lift to help gain some working room under the truck (makes getting to the tranny bolts a LOT easier. If you don't mind cutting some body panels you can pretty dang big tires to work on little lift.

suggestions for sealing the threads? teflon or some other material, nothing at all?

[WheeliePete]

@lexmedic157 The threads have no sealing properties, they are straight thread, not pipe-thread (like NPT or BPT). The sealing of the brake line comes from the cup/cone interface of the male/female hydraulic brake line. No sealing tape or paste needed on the threads. As long as the sealing surfaces on the male/female ends are clean and not dinged up they will mate together and form a very good seal.

thanx man that was helpfull.. :)

i wanna ask you somthing! what is the best lift up flex system kit on yota 85 without any problemz ? if there is a name for it please hit me with it ! and thanx in advanced..

[WheeliePete]

@ADIGA131Gj Either Sky Manufacturing or Marlin Crawler make good kits. The trick to a flexible suspension is to have lots of small leaves that are just a touch positive arch at rest with the weight of the truck on them. The best flexing pack I ever had was a mix of waggoneer springs and toyota rears. It was a 7 leaf pack. Laid almost flat at rest and just had miles of droop.
