Frame Braces
App: 1986 -1995 Toyota 4runners and 4wd pickups
Frame braces mount between the lower control arms on 1st and 2nd generation Toyota 4X4's with IFS. These braces prevent the mounts from spreading apart under heavy impact while serving as a convenient surface for skit plate mounting. These are made from .25" steel all around and are very strong. The frame brace comes with all necessary hardware.
The frame braces will normally cost $149 + shipping, although these are currently out of stock.
Typical distance between the vehicle LCA mounts is 17".

Idler Arm Bushings
App: NOTE, these do NOT fit the production idler arm. They fit 4WD 4Runner/Pickup Idler Arm, Autozone FA5040, McQuay-Norris FA5040, Kragen/O'Reilly FA5040 only!!!! Why just support one arm?
Beware of parts normally spec'd for 2WD 4 cylinder trucks being sold for 4WD 4 cylinder and V6 trucks and 4runners! One example is the Sankei 555 idler arm. This arm as been sold (packaged) as an FA5040 but is not the same arm. The shaft is of a smaller diameter and the arm is not as strong. It is also more expensive, sometimes 2X more, than the stronger actual FA5040 sold at AutoZone. SDORI recommends customers purchase from a local autoparts store or if ordering, doing so from a major chain like AutoZone. These stores can quickly and easily address these issues.

4WD Ball Joint Spacers
App: 86-95 4WD 4runners and pickups and T100s. (Also works in 2WD 4runners and T100s)
Beware of parts normally spec'd for 2WD 4 cylinder trucks being sold for 4WD 4 cylinder and V6 trucks and 4runners! SDORI stumbled upon companies (even reputable ones like NAPA) cutting corners and selling customers weaker 2WD parts for 4WD applications. One sure sign you are receiving an inferior ball joint is if the base is not nicely radiused like the original ball joint base is. Instead it is cut into a simple trapezoidal shape as if cut on a chop saw. Another indication you are getting a weaker 2WD part is if the ball joint is listed for a 2WD application as well as the 4WD (bolt pattes are the same). Checking to make sure your ball joint is only listed for a 4WD truck will help to ensure you get a part designed for the higher stresses of a 4WD vehicle.
2WD ball joint spacers on sale for $99/pair!
App: 84-95 2WD pickups (2WD Chassis)
Hard off road use puts stress on the upper control arms. This can cause the arms to fatigue. These braces strengthen that area eliminating the problem. They are made from .25" thick steel and coated to prevent corrosion. These are strongly recommended for any 2wd truck that sees off road use.
Rear Coil Spacers
App: 1st and 2nd generation trucks and 4runners. State the year of your truck upon order as hardware changes slightly with the year.
Another SDORI original design! Now one does not need to purchase an aftermarket bumper to have D-Ring anchors. These anchors are CNC machined out of steel to have a working load limit comparable but slightly higher than the 5/8" D-Ring shackle for which they are intended. This is a genuinely engineered product designed with extensive FEA. They come powder coated black with necessary hardware. D-Rings are not included but can be purchased readily and inexpensively at your local 4WD store.
