It says in the description on their website that you have to purchase rear lift separately.

There's people on here with both of them on their T4Rs, so dont say what i need to do
I know they're seperate but I'm just making sure before i buy all this stuff. I read the descriptio and it said something about the kit coming with the front diff armor plate. So I'm assuming its just for the front??

I think the point is...
You should put in some seat time with the rig "as is". Learning the basics and fine points of wheeling.
Also, those that are doing a SAS have been wrenching and wheeling for years.
Don't bury yourself into a project that you can't finish or do safely.
Doing a SAS can be a daunting task.
I know you are talking a 2nd gen but here is a 3rd gen going SAS http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyo...cteds-96-4runner-using-tg-tacoma-sas-kit.html
Well since I want to do a little bit of krawling, you think think the easiest/simpliest way to go is use a normal lft kit and eliminate the stock sway bars?

I do a lot of rock crawling on my IFS. You can do a lot with IFS. I'm running ToyTec coilovers and OME 861 rear coils. I keep my rear swaybar on all the time (on and off road). I use my front bar on road and remove the links when wheeling.
Lift it, Armor it and wheel it.
(the only shot I could find right now. This is a mild trail for me)

Nice T4R ya got! But you're saying just to lift it and armor it right? And get the feel for it lifted then go from there?

I'm wheeling trails that have obstacles that are as hard as I want to do. Sure if my rig had a SFA, those obstacles would be easier. Another way to look at it is, things are more challenging. If you have too capable of a rig, you will get bored with most trails.
Learning your rig and how to wheel (I don't know your wheeling background) will me more valuable than a highly capable rig and little knowledge. Someone with little wheeling knowledge and a highly capable rig can get into some real trouble and danger quickly.
Also, doing a SAS will add up to $2000 to $6000 quickly considering that the $1400 SAS kit is not complete. (depending on what deal you get on the other parts and how much labor you need to pay for)

I figured I'd just lift it then take my sway bars off then add some sliders and other armor. Do you know where I can get a fuel tank skdplate for a 95 T4R??

FAIR WARNING: I and others have already answered every one of these questions for this guy multiple times, and he just keeps asking the same things over and over. Time to drop this one, because either he doesn't listen, or he's just trying to be a pain. Oh, and jv, don't bother sending any more PM's--you'll just get deleted.
That's lovely
Oh and another thing bud, we are done with the subject so drop that **** and quit trolling

It just seems to me that someone with no knowledge on the subject and is asking the most basic questions about a sas has no idea what is involved or even knows where to begin. I'm not trying to troll or be a d!ck I'm just simply stating the facts. To me you came off like you were gonna do the sas, plain and simple. I understand everyone has to start from somewhere, but you don't just dive head first in a project like a sas. People prep for long time doing multiple hours of research for it. I'm not trying to knock your knowledge or skills, I'm just saying you don't seem to have all your facts straight.
That's why I joined to forum was to understand more this subject. Yes I am new to it. But Im only gonna dive into a project unless I know about what it is and if I'm willing to spend that much money.
