How To Lower 1994 Toyota Pickup 2wd (89-95 models) Belltech SP444 DIY

UPDATE 1/7/16
You DO NOT need to drill the blocks in the rear. The plate will go on top of the block and eliminates having to drill the holes bigger.
A full walk through on how to install the 2" Belltech Drop Spindles, 3" lowering blocks and the Street Performance Shocks. This was my first time lowering a truck, and it was not that difficult. It took me about 5 hours from beginning to end.
Wheels are 14x7 Zero offset (4" backspace)
Tires are 195/75/14, slight rub on fenders
I did roll my fenders but the tires are pretty large.

Hey Jon. I was wondering if you could post a picture showing whether your new scrub radius is above or below the radius rod after installing the drop spindles and flipping the ball joints (or just tell us, haha). You're pretty savvy, but if you don't know, it's just whether if you got a completely flat tire, would the radius rod hit the ground or would you be riding on the wheel? Reason I ask is I think 15s look great but they would be a safety issue if the scrub radius is too high. Thanks for all your help. Great video.
@GarageBuiltHondas 8 жыл бұрын
+A dudeguy It is very close with my 14's but I would be riding on the lip of the wheel if I got a completely flat tire. It looks as if it would scrape the 2 nuts that hold the lower ball joint on slightly.

I got the Belltech 444ND instead of the 444SP that you got. The ND (Nitro Drop) shocks up front do not fit through the control arm and don't have the removable dust cap your shocks have here. The solution I took was to press the lower shock mount bushing out, put the shock in to the control arm from the top, and then press the bushing back in. You could also grind out the control arm or the shock body, but I don't think those are as clean as just pressing the bushing out. Just throwing this out there in case anyone else has the same issue I did.

think i could fit a 15 x 7 wheel with -6 offset and 3.75 backspace at stock height? might lower the rear a inch or two to level it but thats it.
@GarageBuiltHondas 9 жыл бұрын
Easily. That offset/backspacing sticks out only 6mm more than my wheels and a small 1" drop would be perfect. The rear would actually line up better than mine because my rear wheel isn't flush with the fender. You would need a tire size that isn't too beefy though. I have 195/75/14 on my truck and that is right about 25.2 inches in diameter and it's a little too big. I haven't bought new tires yet, I prefer to get a larger set of wheel and smaller tires.

I have a 87 2wd toyota hilux, would it be the same concept? Anyways what about bump stops?
@GarageBuiltHondas 8 жыл бұрын
I do not know, I've never worked on any other Toyota older than mine. It may be a very similar process, especially the rear. I trimmed my rear bumps stops but not the front. The front was left alone because these hubs position the wheel lower without affecting the front suspension geometry.
