SAS build with FJ80 front and BJ60 rear!!!!!



First pic is of the BJ60 rear and second is of the FJ80 front. I'll dig into the 60 a lot more as I go, first things first I wanted to SAS my 86 pickup for a while and after having this matching set pop up on my Facebook I just couldn't resist having the absolute best front axle under my truck Toyota had to offer, going to start cutting off all the coil spring mounts and start looking how this things going to go. The BJ60 is going to be alittle of a struggle to get figured out due to the fact that the Pinon is offset quite a ways to the right. My first thought was to just flip The axle upside down to avoid the gas tank however after some of my fellow "Yotatech" members informed me I may have lubricating issues so the big task will be to swap the gas tank to the driver side and reroute the exhaust system. As far as the off-centered driveshaft I am not concerned as I have found plenty of threads where people have done similar swaps while having the drive shaft off-centered to one side without issues. Now back to the FJ80 I will be running a Highsteer system made by Hellfire Fabworks and will be ordering as soon as I see they have them back in stock. The 80 is slightly longer then the 60 measuring in at 63.5 wide where the 60 measures at 58.8 wide so spacers will have to be ran in the rear. Im Going to be running a Trail gear SAS kit with their 3in leaf lift (that actually measures in at 4in) the idea is to keep it as low as possible yet comfortably run 35s. Now alittle on the truck it's a 86 auto with a brand new motor and i will be gearing the axles to 5.71's hoping that should be the right gear ratio? This is going to be a on going build over the next several months so I'll post as I go feel free to give me some ideas on how I can make this go a little smoother
