Post up your SAS pics and specs

Fisrt of all i did search, but info is just all over the place, and honestly i think the search function is not real accurate.
I just picked up a manual 92 ex cab toyota with a bad 3.0, big surprise. The goal is to sas it and swap a 3.4 into it. I pretty much have decided to go with a trail gear front kit.

I dont want to run any larger tire than a 35" and am actually considering a 33". I plan to lock it up and gear as well, but keep it a daily driveable. So i'm getting mixed results as far as what size front spring i need to run, to clear a 35" tire. I plan on taking the front bumper off, in favor of a tube front bumper, so i know i will be able to stuff more than if i had the stock bumper.

I was wondering if we could make a sticky with everyones sas lifts, showing pictures and specs. Just something as simple as a side shot and what lift you are running, tires ect. So people like myself and others can get a better idea on the different sized springs. I realize there are some, out there. But i think a sticky at the top of the sas area would help a lot of people out.


Thanks, Paul

This is exactly what i'm talking about, very nice. The 4 runner's should be very similar in the front to the trucks. Thanks, and looking good.

With a V6 not but one choice to take the weight, 5" HD springs. If you got specific questions email me and I'll be glad to help you. I got 3 SASs lined up already, 2 in January and another in May.

4" TG front, 5" TG rear with 6" shackle in the rear for the tire carrier. 35" KM2s.

This is a 3.0L V6, 5spd. So, the 4" springs will hold up the V6 just fine.

I dont want to ruin the flow of the thread but why do you guys run taller springs in the back and shorter in the front is it a runner thing or pickups too , it just seems like the truck would have a rake to it , Thanks for any info

4runners are heavier in the rear. Pickups should run matching springs unless they have a camper shell.
