I want to upgrade my front end components and parts are scarce for
my 2001 king ranch. Can I convert to 2004 or newer
I will be running 40 inch toyos and want stronger parts
any thoughts?? thanks

 

depends on what you want to do with those big tires. Looks? nothing more than a 8 or so inch lift. anything more probably a solid axle swap or upgrade yourself to coils. if you're 2wd this isnt hard, if you're 4wd then get ready to spend some cash and change everything. you have torsion bar suspension which sucks. switching to coils like I did is a lot of work. so pick your poison.

 

What he said^. If your going for looks only you could probably get by with a 6" lift, 3" body lift, and crank the torsions a little to get you around 10-11" to clear 40's depending on tire width and wheel choice.

If you actually plan to go off-roading with it, an sas would be a better choice whether you choose leafs or links for the front suspension. It'll cost more, but it'll save you a lot of money when the ifs parts start breaking constantly.
