Mak92, in the pictures Jacob took the truck was on 31"s but now it is on new 35" also the rear springs up front the way the pack is now the springs are almost flat so you cant go much lower then that the bump stops will stop the spring at flat once I build them...you could build a front spring hanger that didn't have as much lift but then (like I did) but your limit is your steering arm(mine is flat and tight to the frame) so like I said it is low as you can go with out cutting away at the frame...besides a IFS truck like yours you can run 33" with a little trimming so why SAS if you only want to run 33"s?...with SAS and 33"s you would be limiting yourself a good starting point is 35"s and up from there 37"s are as big as you want to go on toyota axles(although a lot of people go bigger then 37"s)...

The only thing on here that is TG is the high steering kit w/flat arm and 14"shock hoops the rest of the parts I have fabed up... rear springs up front and 63"s in the rear 14" shocks in the front and 12"s in the rear all my own brackets and frame plating with armor and gussits everywhere my own design sliders and bumpers 3"motor/trans/gas tank lift...so we will see how it all works out...this truck is all out of the box thinking...
low/low/1st 206 to 1 with .120 CV shafts front and rear...my only weak link is the rear axle with a aussie and stock axles and disc brakes...full floater is comming...

Twistedyota,
so far it rides nice a little tippy but thats due to soft springs....I did get it on to rocks for the first time on Saturday and I think I will be very happy with it once the trails open up up here, it does work very good in the snow when I do my part....
