2WD rear springs?

[1985toyota]

Hey ive got a 2wd toyota pick up sitting around and i was wondering if i could move my rears up front and put the 2wd's in the back? any ideas on this

[Kyron]

Why not put those up front?

Yes that to, Would it work? i think it would have awesome artic but thats me thinkin here so i need sum help would i have to add some leafs? and would this still provide me with the 2inches of lift?

my guess would be that the thought process led to thinkin that the 2wd rears have more arch b/c they are sua. so they would be some rear lift and the rears up front (pretty common, how about---ruf sound ok for future reference?) would be some lift in the front.

the 2wd rears in the front would then be too much lift in the front and a stock rear. but this is all speculation as we are on the internet not actually doing it..........:yes:

aight, im not a pro at this but then what do yuo think i should do ? put them in the front or in the rear? and would i have to add any leafs because of it being a 2wd?

define "pro" :kidding:

i think the 2wd rears in rear sounds good and ruf (using my own thing :Rockonman ) but kyron has a good point. i would get your fronts off, put the 2wd rears on the front and try it. you like it then keep it. if not then switch em. it won't be too much extra work to swap front and rear.

I used 3 pair of 2WD rear springs to make the 1 pair I run in the front of my 4Runner. Since the 2WD Toys are spring under axle they have more arch than their 4WD counterparts, and you do get some lift out of them. But, as when using 4WD rears up front, you have to add other leaves or they will be way too soft.
