for those of you with rear lifts. What are y’all doing to adjust/correct the pinion angle afterward?

Other than adjustable lower control rods I’m not sure it’s possible on our rigs.

No options exist, as far as I know. Most people people with rear lifts don't bother with it, either.

I'm going with Dobinsons FJ Cruiser rear lower control arms. They're more affordable than Rokmen and appear to be well built. Waiting to receive some answers to my questions before i buy.

Califab makes lower links for the sequoia. Can't remember if they are adjustable not. Considering one end uses heims, it might be adjustable...

They don't list them on their website, i'm assuming then i have to reach out to them specifically. $265 shipped is going to be hard to beat.

Well, I feel like an idiot. While watching some youtube videos regarding drivetrain issues I noticed a 4runner had the slip joint of the rear shaft mated to the transfer case whereas mine is at the rear diff. reviewing the repair manual I confirmed mine is indeed on backward. This had to have happened when I attempted to install new u-joints last summer but was unable to do so. I'm going to flip it around tomorrow night and hope it fixes my issue. I just hope I haven't caused any damage to my t-case or rear diff.

Boom. Flipped the propeller shaft around and it’s smoooooooth as butter now.

Now...to figure out where this whine is coming from.
