I’m pursuing this in stages; first a 50mm lift to get the travel benefit of longer shocks and springs, then a 1″ body lift to increase the overhead room in the fender wells for larger tires, and eventually 37 or 38s. Since I’m only lifting 50mm, I decided to pursue caster correction by lowering the frame side radius arm mount by the same 50mm to return both the caster and the anti-dive to factory specs. I looked around and found a bolt-on option to do just this; but that product is larger than I’d like, and I’m a big proponent of weld-on solutions. The other aspect that I was interested in was relocating the axle forward to create more firewall clearance for larger tire sizes. (When the radius arm rear pivot is returned to its original height relative to the axle, the wheel returns to the middle of its arc at ride height – versus the more typical lifted arrangement in which the radius arm rear pivot remains in its location relative to the frame, and the axle centerline is lower than the radius arm rear pivot at rest. Because the wheel is returned to the factory arc path with my setup, the tire is again closer to the firewall at full compression. Moving the axle forward for increased clearance is beneficial in this scenario.) So, I’ve made some Radius Arm Mounts to relocate the frame end of the 80-series radius arms down 50 mm for a 2″ or so lift and 25mm forward for that big tire\/firewall clearance (and to improve approach angle.) On paper, this down \u0026amp; forward relocation is good for 3.45 degrees of caster correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-12410\" src=\"https:\/\/kpoffroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-24-at-20-10-36-Radius-Arm-Mounts-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"733\" height=\"550\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy making them weld-on, I’m able to run a reinforcing plane\/rib up into the rear of the factory mount, increasing the weld area and tying everything together as a single structure. This also allows me to keep these mounts as svelte as possible so that any obstacle that the arm might slide over will not get hung up on the mount extension. And even though they are weld-on, they do not obscure the stock hole, so if you change directions (not everyone is as concerned about not increasing anti-dive as I am) you can trim off the lower part and still have a reinforced factory mount for your trouble. 🙂 (but I don’t think you’ll end up doing that) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-12411\" src=\"https:\/\/kpoffroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-24-at-20-10-43-Radius-Arm-Mounts-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"978\" height=\"550\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGW nugget on IH8MUD on 38s – running 2″ suspension lift, 1′ body lift, prototype 30mm RAMs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTES: *the front axle is relocated 25mm forward, which is great for firewall clearance for increased tire sizes but expect some fender trimming in the front with very large sizes. *I recommend using an old\/spare radius arm bushing as a spacer along with the factory nut and bolt to hold the factory mount solid while tacking the RAM in place; then moving the bushing\/bolt\/nut down to the RAM to hold the ears parallel and coplanar with the inner walls of the factory mount for welding. – great excuse to finally get around to replacing those factory bushings! *these are tricky to bend, and as such, often have one side (typically the outer, which has multiple bends) that may be bent slightly over 90 degrees – if this is the case, tack \u0026amp; secure the side that is bent to a perfect right angle to the factory mount first to hold it firm before opening up the other side for appropriate bushing clearance. feel free to contact me with any questions when you get to this step\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eimkeith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48002022473902,"sku":null,"price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8734\/1998\/files\/6d83ecc0-Screenshot-2023-03-24-at-20-10-36-Radius-Arm-Mounts.png?v=1781925675"},{"product_id":"strut-tower-reinforcement-str","title":"Strut Tower Reinforcement (STR)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eStrut Tower Reinforcement\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3\/16″ thick upper mount reinforcement plates to prevent cracked strut towers on 1st Gen Tacomas and 3rd Gen 4Runners.

In addition to being underbuilt for hard wheeling, they were designed with a terrible approach angle! There are aftermarket “skids” available, but they neither reinforce the mount ears (the part that actually folds) nor do they correct the shape\/angle of the mount itself. So I made some weld-on lower link reinforcements for the 3rd gen 4Runner to correct these issues and accommodate beefy joints (the factory mounts do not have adequate clearance for some aftermarket joints to realize their full range of motion.) These are made from folded 3\/16″ plate and are self-aligning – just put the bolt through, trim the angled sides to fit your truck or splay them outward as needed), swing it up to meet the frame, and weld it in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e5th gen LLS (and 4th gen, and GX, and FJC)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand THEN, you 4th\/5th gen guys started bending up your lower link mounts; so I made an LLS for the 120 platform as well:  – and shipping is on me if you’re in the continental US, as always.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e80-SERIES LANDCRUISER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYeah, I love my FZJ80 and am pleased that there is quality aftermarket support for it, but one of the gaping holes in the marketplace was frame-side lower link mount protection (literally no reasonable options to speak of.) So I’ve taken care of that. Like my 4Runner LLS options, this skidplate is both a reinforcement and a ramp to get the mount up and over the obstacle. Weld-on, 3\/16″ plate.

When the inside hole is aligned, put the factory bolt back in and continue to tap the outside upward until it pops over the flanged radius of the factory mount.    At this point the bolt head should be centered in the slot for socket access as shown here:    Now you can scribe a line around the perimeter of the part as a reference for where to grind away the paint for welding, remove the LLS, prep the frame, and reinstall to weld it in. I’d put the link in place and torque it, then tack everything, pull the link \u0026amp; finish weld. when you get to this part, use a drift to fold over the tab so you can have a continuous bead around the inner corner of the frame where it meets the mount:  Also, this slot (running parallel with the centerline of the factory mount) is intended to be a drain, so don’t weld it shut.    Easy-peasy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eimkeith","offers":[{"title":"3rd Gen 4Runner","offer_id":48002022604974,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4th Gen 4Runner","offer_id":48002022637742,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5th Gen 4Runner","offer_id":48002022670510,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FJ Cruiser","offer_id":48002022703278,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GX 470","offer_id":48002022736046,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GX 460","offer_id":48002022768814,"sku":null,"price":129.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80-Series Land Cruiser","offer_id":48002022801582,"sku":null,"price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8734\/1998\/files\/63f85cb9-Screenshot-2023-03-24-at-20-35-55-Lower-Link-Mount-Skids_Reinforcement.png?v=1781925675"},{"product_id":"lower-control-arm-reinforcement-lcar","title":"Lower Control Arm Reinforcement (LCAR)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLower Control Arm Reinforcement\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA system of reinforcement plates to combat cracking from hard \u0026amp; repeated upward compression on weak factory LCA’s.

While there is still development work occurring in regard to wiring \u0026amp; plumbing, I’ve designed these weld-on fuel tank mounts to facilitate the actual physical installation of the tank itself. These were designed to tuck the tank up in between the frame rails where it would protected and position the tank to the left a bit for extra exhaust pipe clearance at the right front corner of the tank. For those of you with a 1″ body lift, you simply need to cut out the spare tire crossmember and weld the mounts to the truck. Those without a body lift will need to clearance the rib below the floor as needed to clear the top of the tank (hey – you’ve already cut the spare tire crossmember out, why stop now?) 😉 Interested? here’s how you get one for yourself – add it to your cart and pay for your mounts.
