LCE Front U-Bolt Flip Kit

(1979-1985 Pickup / 1984-1985 4Runner)


Introducing another addition to our lineup that you've all been eagerly awaiting! If you've been keeping tabs on our Project 85' build, you might have spotted our specially designed U-Bolt Flip Kit in action. And guess what? Now you can have one for yourself! But what does a U-Bolt Flip Kit do, you ask? Well, it's a game-changer for your off-road adventures. Traditional U-bolts face downwards, becoming potential snag points for rocks and trail debris. Our innovative U-Bolt Flip Kits redirect the spring bolt upwards and out of harm's way, offering enhanced ground clearance and minimizing damage to the threaded section of the bolt. Crafted with precision, these kits feature 9/16" U-Bolts perfectly matched to the axle tube (a notable improvement over square U-Bolts in other kits) and a chamfered bottom plate to avoid cutting into your leaf pack. Grab a set for yourself today.

NOTE: Requires the installation of Trail-Gear or similar high steer conversion kit

SAFETY FIRST

  • 1. Work from a flat solid surface.
  • 2. Set parking brake and chock tires.
  • 3. Support vehicle with quality jack stands.

    • NOTE: There are (2) different U-Bolt plates for the front axle. The plate with the wider bolt spacing go on the passenger side with the wider spaced side facing inward. The driver side U-Bolts are the same size and are smaller than the passenger side. The passenger side has 1 large U-Bolt and 1 squared U-Bolt that will go on the inner side aligning with the wider spacing on the plate.


  • 1. Jack up the front of your truck and support with jack stands under the frame.
  • 2. Remove the wheels and tires.
  • 3. While supporting the axle with a floor jack, remove the original U-Bolts and plates. (Recommend doing 1 side at a time)
  • 4. Install the U-Bolts and plates.
  • 5. Torque U-Bolts to 90Ft. Lbs. Tighten in a cross pattern.
  • 6. Install the bump stops using 3/8" bolts and washers provided.
  • 7. Install wheels and tires
  • 8. Check for adequate clearance of brake lines. Address as needed.

    • IMPORTANT:

    It is very important to torque the U-Bolts to 90 Ft. Lbs. using a quality torque wrench. It is also important to re-torque them after the first 500 miles of driving.
