I don't think you understand what you want.

You can only do one or the other...SAS has nothing to do with longarm...?

X2, please don't confuse a linked suspension of a coil sprung heep with a leaf sprung solid axle. Big difference between their "Long Arm" and a Long travel IFS system. And big difference between a flexy leaf spring setup and a 3 and 4 link long arm suspension.

I'm just gonna assume by "Long arm" you mean Long A-arms for IFS (a.k.a IFS Long Travel). I would get rid of the 4" lift and use the money you get from it for IFS upgrades.

You could fit 35s if you get fiberglass fenders. It's expensive, but worth it.

Unless you want more height and long travel, then I would go SAS. Either way, depends on what you want to do.

Yes, that is the only thing "long arm" (long travel) wise that belongs on a Toyota in the 86-95 truck year range.

Bringing Jeep talk into this will only confuse the already confused.

I degress...

If your looking for a low speed wheeler with lots of flex. Go SAS

Thanx..

And also Solid axles with beefed up inners can handle much larger tires then any IFS setup, even long travel.
