little big truck!

TOYOTA 1 · 02-25-2008, 12:57 PM

hello, im a lil confused.

everyone else that has sas'ed
there truck used matching springs front and rear.
6" in the front and 6" in the back etc. well i put 79-85 3.5" e-z ride front springs in the front. does it look like 3.5" springs in the back will b enough lift?

any ideas?

its because you used a drop hanger, and your front axle is moved forward some requiring less lift. possibly use a 4" leaf sprign in rear, with longer shackles if needed.

shouldve done the measurements and research before you started man.

i have done research, as for the drop hanger everybody who sas's uses one and they use same highth springs front to back! so y am i any different?

ok so here is my truck sas'ed with 3.5" springs up front. 5" springs in the back
im almost happy with the way it sits. just gonna get new shackels for the back 1" or so longer "than stock" and it will sit about perfect!

i still dont understand why i had to use bigger springs in the back?

but no worrys.
