What front to use.

Edited: 6/19/2007 1:47:24 PM by huskerdually

I'm wanting to bag my 99 explorer it is 4x4 and I would have to switch it to 2wd components to remove the front dif and cv joints. It has over 200000 miles on it so I really can't sell it for a 2wd. The front suspension on these hangs about 6" lower than the frame. I figure if I'm spending the money should I switch to a different front end. I've seen toyota mentioned alot what about s-10? What years? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd just go with a 89-95 Toyota front clip. You're gonna have to do a lot of mods for that vehicle anyways, so do it right the first time.

Should I use drop spindles with that?

Any other suggestions?

What is the toyota's bolt pattern?

5 by 4.5 and you should use spindles

same as an explorer, but teh brakes are teeny tiny, but stop my buddies 93 just fine.

Got any idea on the diameter of the brakes? Any one make a big brake kit that won't cost me my first born?
