1979-83 Toyota Pickup 4WD 4.5" Front / 3.5" Rear.
This Kit uses REAR LEAF SPRINGS to raise the rear. Truck SuperLift 4 1/2 Inch Lift Kit K749 Toyota CTGLKS CTGSS 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 These vehicles have solid axles front and rear with leaf springs. The front leafs are different on each side with the driver side spring having slightly more arch. The 4.5" front springs have degree shims attached to improve drive shaft angle. Drag link angle is critical. The stock Toyota drag link is a one-piece, non-adjustable unit that connects the pitman arm (at the steering sector) to the steering arm (at the front axle knuckle). As the truck is lifted, the distance between these two points is increased creating two problems. Since the stock drag link is now too short, right hand turning radius is decreased and the steering wheel is moved off-center.
The increase in drag link angle can cause a tendency for the truck to drift and wander, especially on well-worn or grooved driving surfaces. In extreme cases, it can even cause contact between the link's lower end and the spring-to-axle U-bolt.

Foot Notes: 17- If extended length brake hoses are not use, the factory brake hoses and steel lines must be re-routed. Using extended hoses makes for a much easier and cleaner installation. (See Related Products below).
