Hi guys have been contemplating sas for a while now but I have just broke the car so figure now is as good a time as any
so I have read lots and lots about this but just got two or three little Q's
ok so I have a 3vze auto on 92 plate is there anyting special that would stop me doin it (like transfer case on wrong side or ???)
will I need different tail shaft or get the one I have machined down / up ?

Find some SAS write-ups on your vehicle or one close and read. Tons of info on SASs and lifting the rear.

You will need driveshaft work afterwards.

Do you have a welder?

read all you can before you order anything. tack before you fully weld. check shackle angle with wieght of truck on axle before you weld.

front hanger placement advice;
Front Spring Hanger Placement: (when using longer than stock springs like Trail Gears)

I have all of these lifts down to a science at this point.
3" springs: 1/4" in back of the frame. Push the frame tube jig all the way forward in the body mount.
4" Springs 1/2" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount
5" springs 3/4" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount
