question on sas need help please

About to start a sas on a 92 truck. I was wondering, i want to keep the front tires in the center of the fenderwell. I dont like the look of the front tires under the front bumper, i dont care about approach angles or tires rubbing.

My question is, can i weld the front hanger back from flush alittle to acheive this center look? I know that will put my shackles farther back in the body mount, but thats fine. I know all this needs to be test fitted for shackle angle and everything. I just want to make sure that will most likely put the tires center of the fenderwell.

I plan on using the marlin crawler sas kit with the 5 inch springs. Thanks alot.

im glad to see you looking for a competent fabricator to help you with your s.a.s...

posting on pirate might not have been the best thing to do they are as friendly over there..

def find a good fabricator who has done a toyota s.a.s shouldnt be hard in seatlle and maybe a few member can point you in the right direction.. what size tire are you eventually going??

Not sure about a 92, but wont you have oil pan clearance issues if you put it back in the stock location? I had to move my axle forward about 5" in order to clear the oil pan and keep the truck low (yes i swapped the pan)

I was wondering the same thing. Are there any kits that keep the axle in the stock location?

You don't want the axle to be in the stock location. As the new suspension compresses, the wheel moves back. If it was in the stock position it would eat well into your doors.

On my '90 I was able to keep the stock 3.0 oil pan with no clearance issues. I have a 4" MC SAS. I kept the same pan after my 3.4 swap... still without issue.

My suggestion would be to do the SAS and just be prepared to get a new pan if you need one, unless someone with your exact vehicle chimes in with what they had to do.
