Time to cut off the IFS and do a solid axle swap. ?
You’ll need a frame shop to fix that. May be able to make adjustments with a jack to spread the lower mounts, but you’ll have to be careful.
Does the creaking happen when turning sharply? Probably just the steering stops. Put a dab of grease...
somewhere I have a picture of a busted 3" strap that I found while towing my xtracab to Rapid City for BHCC2017... Drove at least 150 miles with no front strap on the truck...
Towing the 4runner back to MN with a 94 4Runner... really, really dumb idea. Everyone haaated me in Nebraska (NE is...
funny story...
wife pulled that same enclosed trailer filled to the brim - had to have been pushing well over 5k - when we moved with her 5th gen 4runner. I was admittedly impressed and surprised at how well it towed...
Would I do it again? No. Would I let her do it again? Hell no. Did it do...
I've towed an 85 4runner with a 94 4runner from CO to MN. A 3k# enclosed trailer with a Gen2 Tacoma... a 5k trailer with a gen1 Tacoma (ok... supercharged).
I've done a LOT of stupid stuff. I really, really struggle when people post pictures of towing heavy loads with a Tacoma and say it tows...
Saw a lifted 1st Gen GMC Canyon extracab today... found myself thinking it was a damned nice looking rig...
yup... I felt that was something I needed to share. :p

Same issue on both sides?
This is going to sound like a dumb suggestion, but...
When I bought my first set of sliders in... 1997-ish. I had to bolt on the front mount first. If I did the middle and rear mounts, the front one didn't line up for some odd reason. I can't explain why - one bolted...
Vibration is making me want to go buy some dynamite...
Parking the 4Runner for a bit... been way behind on getting the tractor done (grandfathers 8n/9n hybrid) so taking thanksgiving week off to work on the 4Runner. Hoping I’ll find a had cv or something.
Btw, painting toooob sucks
V8 Colorado for a bit. I *think* the Ford sport trac got a v8 for a bit as well.
Granted, similar HP numbers were available from supercharging the 5vze, but I’d still have fun with a v8.
