I am doing an SAS on my 96 Toyota T100 SR5 3.4L V6. I am going to run a set of Dana 60's with 5.13 gears and 37's. The truck itself weighs roughly 4000lb. I am thinking roughly 7 inches of lift in total in order to allow for the springs to settle and still maintain clearance.

Here is my dilemma... I am not sure what springs to run. I have heard good and bad things about Alcan but they seem to be the best price for custom springs. I have only heard good things about Atlas spring but their prices were high. I have looked at AllPro and Trailgear but I have heard mixed things about these as well. I haven't been able to find Marlin springs but I have heard good things about them.

What do you guys think or suggest?

 

Marlin uses all pro springs now if i recall.

I'd talk with Alcan if you want to get a specific amount of lift and matched front and rear.

 

National and Deaver are a couple others to check out as far as custom springs go.

good luck! Post some pics when your done!

 

I have talked to Alcan and Atlas and they both are rather expensive. I have found a set of front leafs made by Dave's Off Road Performance and from what I have heard they are pretty good springs. But I may bight the bullet and go full custom springs.

 

What size springs did you end up using? How tall is she/pics?

 

I ended up going with atlas spring company for the rear. They are 5" lift flex springs. For the front I went with Dave's Off Road Performance springs. His spring don't have a lift specification. Rather, you select a set based off of what tire size you want to run, i.e. 37+ tires or 37- tires. I started a build thread on Marlin Crawler last year. Almost every one of my posts have pictures. Here is the link to my build. Enjoy...
