92 runner, 22re(new), manual trans, basically stock.

here is the idea, I want to do a sas and a lift. I was thinking about ordering the sas kit and the rear leaf kit from sky-manufacturing. I came across a 85 toyota (or that is what i was told) front axle(wondering if this would work). also what kind of gear ratio should I use if I want to get a 6'' lift and 33''-35''. so far I have done all the work to it myself. this SAS idea is all new to me, I know very little about axle rebuilds and gear ratio.

so the basic questions, is a 22re strong enough for a solid front axle?
what is a recommended gear ratio for over-sized (33"-35") tires?
will the 85 toyota front axle work?

have a look at this section. should answer all your questions.

 

22RE will be fine if in good shape.

Any solid front axle from mini truck will work, 81-85.

33" tires will be too small. Minimum 35" tires and 5.29s

 

thank you waskillywabbit. thats what i was looking for.
