Post up your SAS pics and specs

Fisrt of all i did search, but info is just all over the place, and honestly i think the search function is not real accurate.
I just picked up a manual 92 ex cab toyota with a bad 3.0, big surprise. The goal is to sas it and swap a 3.4 into it. I pretty much have decided to go with a trail gear front kit.

I dont want to run any larger tire than a 35" and am actually considering a 33". I plan to lock it up and gear as well, but keep it a daily driveable. So i'm getting mixed results as far as what size front spring i need to run, to clear a 35" tire. I plan on taking the front bumper off, in favor of a tube front bumper, so i know i will be able to stuff more than if i had the stock bumper.

I was wondering if we could make a sticky with everyones sas lifts, showing pictures and specs. Just something as simple as a side shot and what lift you are running, tires ect. So people like myself and others can get a better idea on the different sized springs. I realize there are some, out there. But i think a sticky at the top of the sas area would help a lot of people out.


Thanks, Paul

This is exactly what i'm talking about, very nice. The 4 runner's should be very similar in the front to the trucks. Thanks, and looking good.

4" TG front, 5" TG rear with 6" shackle in the rear for the tire carrier. 35" KM2s.

This is a 3.0L V6, 5spd. So, the 4" springs will hold up the V6 just fine.

I dont want to ruin the flow of the thread but why do you guys run taller springs in the back and shorter in the front is it a runner thing or pickups too , it just seems like the truck would have a rake to it , Thanks for any info

4runners are heavier in the rear. Pickups should run matching springs unless they have a camper shell.
