suspension lift

Post by 84terc »

im looking to do a Barto suspension swap. Swap out rear springs with 90 Pathfinder Springs. Then Swap front Struts with 86 Camry (spring,and top hat). Do i have to use shims , or lower drive line or can i just do a Swap and be done ? Thanks

do not do the camry springs route, you will damage your cv axles and blow out the top seals on the struts. go read the various threads on this forum about lift and you will find much information.
