2nd gen 4runner SAS CONVERSION

[isaacsonzachary]

hi, i have a 2nd gen 1995 toyota 4runner 4x4 3.0 v6 automatic stock height I am going to do a straight axle swap in a month or so, and Im getting this sas kit Toyota Pickup/4Runner 1986-1995 IFS Eliminator Solid Axle Swap Kit SAS with 5" of lift for the front, Im not sure What to do for the rear, iv heard of people swiching there stock coil springs for land cruiser coil springs and getting nearly 4" of lift ? If this is true can someone help me out with more info?

Tons of stuff about this topic out there. Pretty much depends on what model of cruiser the springs came off of. The 5" kit is going to be more than 5" of total lift FYI.

Depends on the cruiser springs.

You're going to need to work on your rear control arms and panhard bar, by the way. 4+ inches is way too much to leave those stock, it won't work.

Trail-Gear has a matching rear leaf-conversion lift that, combined with the SAS, will give you outrageous articulation. It comes in three heights. If you go this route, remember to account for the shackles adding an inch to the height.

What size tires do you plan on using? 5" is a LOT of lift even for 35" tires.

Agreed. I'm going with 4" TG's for 35's.

I am also in agreement that 5" is a lot of lift, especially when the shackles will make that 6" when you're done. Why do you feel you need this much lift? If you're going SAS, I assume this means you're going to be crawling, and extra height is rather undesirable. If there's no specific reason for that height, I wouldn't go with it.

He's in Florida. If he's wheeling at all, it's not crawling.

I am thinking of SAS'ing mine soon but would go for the 3" kit. Although I think I'll go for sky's kit over trail gear. I don't want to be all jacked up in the air. haha
