4+PLUS 80 SERIES SUSPENSION DROP BRACKETS

One of the impressive things about 80 Series Land Cruisers has been that although they are one of the finest off road vehicles ever made, they also handled very nicely on road. That is as long as you didn't lift them above 2 inches from stock. Lifts of 3-6 inches change the angles between the control arms, panhard rods, and the frame of the vehicle to the point that the axles shift sideways, the pinion angles are off, and the front caster angle is such that the vehicle will handle poorly. One way to deal with these alignment problems is to lengthen the control arms and panhard rods to re-align the axles, pinion angles, and front end caster angle. The drawback to this
method, is that the steep angles of the control arms, and panhard rods that causes the exaggerated axle movement is still present, and
any cycling of the suspension, or cornering results in more of this misalignment. Basically the only time a vehicle with this type of
"fix" is aligned properly is when it is sitting still.The other option for dealing with this misalignment is to drop the control arms, and panhard rods to their stock alignment with the frame. Our 4+Plus drop brackets are designed to relocate the fixed mounting points of the control arms and panhard rods to 4 inches lower than stock, and put them back into the "sweet spot" where they were designed to work. With a lift of 6 inches using these brackets the control arms and panhard rods will be at the same alignment to the frame as a stock 80 series with 2 inches of lift. A 3-4 inch lift will not require the use of Polyurethane caster correction bushings on the front end, allowing the use of the stock, longer lasting, rubber bushings. Installation of the entire kit requires the drilling of only 3 holes. All brackets are manufactured by 4+Plus from 1/4" plate steel and are reinforced to resist the heavy torque loads of off roading. All necessary installation hardware is supplied.

80 Series Front Control Arm Drop Brackets
One of the more critical angles of alignment is the front caster angle. When you lift an 80 series the front axle is moved away from the frame, the front of the control arm drops, and the axle rotates, causing the caster angle to decrease with the result that the vehicle will tend to wander and be difficult to steer in a straight line. This bracket kit is designed to drop the fixed end of the OEM front control arms 4 inches and bring the caster back to stock alignment @ 4" of lift and into the center of the designed travel arc. On vehicles w/3-4 inches of lift, stock bushings are retained. On vehicles w/5-6 inches of lift, caster correction bushings will be required. Installation requires no drilling. Sold in pairs.
