I am currently running 88 rex w/ factory suspension. I wanted to know if anyone out there has swapped 89 - up rear LCA in place of the 88 itr style LCA?

I did the opposite - swapped my 91's out for the ITR's.
Direct swap with perfect fit.
Just need the correct shock.

Yes... 91 was originally 'fork' style shocks.
Converted to ITR 'box' LCA's so I could run 'eye' mount shocks.
The geometry is the SAME from end to end.
The only notable change is the design scheme used for mounting the shock.

I see what your saying, 88 and itr's are the same. If thats the case then the lower control arms should be interchangeable.
