Kycrawler's (low) SAS
Well, I wheeled the thing IFS long enough and decided to step it up. This the truck when I got it (free) but with soft 8s and 31" BFGs.
http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...4runner001.jpg This is after BJ spacers, 3" B.L., and rear add a leaf. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...er/DTOR026.jpg Picked up an '85 axle and Sky's hanger[IMG]http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad352/cardsfan1980/Iphone166.jpg[/IMG http://i9[IMG]http://i951.photobucke.../Iphone166.jpg51.photobucket.com/albums/ad352/cardsfan1980/Iphone175.jpg[/IMG] http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone167.jpg Borrowed a set of torches from my buddy and went to work http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone191.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone192.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone215.jpg Cut in the frame tubes and beefed up what was left of the IFS bracket that the motor mounts attach to. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone231.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone216.jpg Test fit the hanger, springs etc. and started to burn everything in. I decided to go with a set of rear springs off an '86 I picked up from a buddy. I was trying to keep the runner as low as possible and get the axle as far forward as possible. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone242.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone243.jpg Burned in the shock hoops and gussets. I decided to kick the gussets out on to the frame instead of in, simply to be able to get to the motor mounts easier in the future. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone245.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone247.jpg Moved the steering box about 3-3.5" forward for link clearance. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone279.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone280.jpg Moved my rear locker into the front third and welded up the rear. Welded brake line brackets to the frame and back side of steering arms. Installed some extended soft lines and made some hard lines from the caliper to the soft lines. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone275.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone287.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone288.jpg Bolted up the dual case cross member to replace the one I made when I put in the duals. Made/welded in some bump stop perches. Cut down a rear driveshaft for the front (for now) and made some rear shackles from steel I had laying around (6" eye to eye) http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone289.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0682.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0681.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0679.jpg Still waiting for my bilstein 5125s and a triple drilled flange to wrap it up. I'm itching to flex this thing out!! Here is how it sits now. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone273.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0677.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0676.jpg http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_0683.jpg |
Looks like fun.
:wabbit2: |
So you basically used stock leaf springs with 14" bilsteins to keep it low? you still have 3" BL? or did you remove it? do you see any clearance issues happening if you were to do this without the BL?

You need square Ubolts under the drivers side.
These look like round. http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/a.../Iphone273.jpg I cant tell you how many SA's I've seen with round u bolts under there. Looks like a death trap. http://www.marlincrawler.com/sites/a.../ubolts200.jpg http://www.marlincrawler.com/suspension/parts/u-bolts :dj: |

|
so you went with stock leafs, shackles and 12" bilsteins?
|
For now, yes. I may add a leaf or two depending on the way it goes when I give it a shake down.

Oh, and I'm running Sky's boomerang shackles ( not stock )

They are square, I think it must be the angle of the pic. Thanks for looking out though.

Nice work man!!!
I love the height. Sits perfect. |
Like the build looks tight. How much up travel do you have? Really like the bumpstops looks better than the typical retangle ones.
