A spring over swap would end up being like six inches do to the large spring pack. How many inches can you get out of hd torsion bars, and where can I get them? Has anyone actually done this? I would think how low these vehicles sit someone has tried it?

The majority of my favorite camp sites are down dirt roads, which require moderate ground clearance. We're not talking about rubicon, but there are rocks and a few small washes to drive through. 6" of clearance in the front is not enough, I want 3" on all four corners. I'll start on this in a couple weeks and post photos.

Who makes ball joint spacers for an '83? I haven't been able to find them.

I am new to Toyota rv's. I recently bought two to make one. When I swap in the full floater I was thinking of adding a 3" shackle, and adjusting the front torsion bars up. An extra three inches and a taller tire would benefit me greatly. We don't camp in campgrounds! Can this be done successfully with not to many negative side effects?

I swapped in a FF two months ago. I was fortunate enough to find a beat up dolphin for $500, which allowed me to pick and choose what parts worked best. The RV I am rebuilding is an '83 the donor vehicle was an '84. The shock mounts were not the same between them, so I used the '84 u-bolts with the '83 mounting plate, I had to break out the cutting torch and egg the holes out 1/4" to fit the larger u-bolts. The drive shaft flange bolt patterns were also different, again when I replaced the u-joints I swapped them around and it worked great. Those were the biggest obstacles I faced in doing this swap. I have put around 2000 miles on it since.
