That thing is tall! Ide even lower it done a bit IE blocks in the rear!

Looks nice but I think the height may scare you a bit on the road and definetly on the trail

Nope! The thing drives like a cadillac on the road. So far we don't have a front drive shaft yet, but we did take it offroad here around the house and it's cool as all get out! It is taller than we thought it would be but with the bumpers/wench and the tire rack on the back, we hope it will settle a little.?

true it will settle some. plus with added weight. Just speaking from personal experience! Take it out a few times and see how it does and how the springs settle. I ultimatly took my blocks out of the rear which I never should have done and also took a leaf out of the rear of my 5" allpro springs. I run 37's but will be running bigger soon. The lower the better! I might even take mine down a bit more!

Looks good I remember the day I got my SAS done

I'm a noob when it comes to lift/suspension, I see you've done a SAS but I don't know what else you've done.. The rear looks sweet and it doesn't seem like any of this took too much work.

Well we have been doing builds on Toys for some time now. I mostly build the engines and hold stuff wile Dan weilds and fabs stuff. He leaves the motor/mechanical stuff to me. So between the two of us we have done alot with Toyotas around here. We have about a dozen friends with toys that we have been into some way or another.

Looks good! You should be able to fit at least 37's on there without trimming. But ya it will settle alot.

Maybe I missed it, but I looked over this thread twice looking for it, did you use 63" Chevy springs in the rear?

shaw j~ yes it is 63 chevys springs on the rear. with some custom fabbing from the Dan man. It is working real well so far.
forbiddenera~ Man I dont know where to start! Details, it's all in the details.. 5"inch lift from trail gear with cross over steering, bilastine shocks 14" inch I think? Front Axle, All the bell's and whistles that we could put in it and on it. 35x12.50 BFG tires because that's what we had at the time. Dan will go bigger later! 38's most likely and the rest you will have to ask Dan about, because I can't remember all of it!!!!
