1. SEARCH A LOT!
2. FJ60 axles are 68.5 WMS to WMS wide.
3. FJ60 axles have a 9.5 ring gear.
4. FJ60 axles are spring under and have 3" wide springs.
5. Call marlincrawler.com or trail-gear.com for a SAS kit.
6. Use spell check.
7. Ask direct questions and you'll get direct answers.

The kits marlin and trail-gear sale will come with high steer. You'll need a longer tie-rod and drag-link. Marlin will make you custom length ones. The drag-link will need to be 1 1/2" longer and the tie-rod 3" longer (these numbers are best guess, I'd measure to be sure). You already have a IFS steering box so nothing will change there unless you use custom springs.

KK Ty ill check with Marlin on the kit and no im not using custom springs planning on using the 60 front springs. Not sure but can i use the 60 tie rods as well or they gonna be to long or short? Also need to know what the gearing diff is between the stock truck rearend and the fj60 axles is ?

Some have 4.10 and some have 3.70. I know for sure that FJ62's (1988 and 1989) have 4.10.
