    I was wondering if anybody knows how to make a differential drop for a third generation 4runner I understand that you need 8 inch bolts and some kind of a spacer but I’m not sure what grade or thickness the bolts are

    I made one for my pickup. I used grade 8. I would think grade 5 would prolly be okay. I used some scrap DOM for spacers. I don't recall what the dimensions were for the bolts I used tho.

    Great. I didn’t think it would be too difficult. Thanks for the info.
