hey guys i must be retatred ort some thing cuz i searched for SAS and i couldnt find what i was looking for really....... i am very sorry if this is a repost.


i just picked up a 1990 single cab 4x4. my buddy had a complete axle hes going to sell me for $200. my question is where do i begin. what parts am i going to need? do the front and rear gears need to match? how do i tell what gears? things like that. i am mechanicaly inclinde for the most part. like i said i am a noob to these Yotas. just looking for more of a parts list gears,drive lines, etc

thanks

 

Where's Scuba?

Begin with lots of searching/reading. Use google too.
Lots of parts- try Trail gear, all-pro.
Front and rear gears must match if you don't want to break things.
Search for which gears depending on tire size.

Do you weld?

 

you'll want to get a SAS kit.... Marlin, Trail-gear, All-pro sell them

You'll need to cut off all the IFS and weld the new spring hanger on up front.

you will need to have matching gears front and rear. Tcases dont like it if they dont match. the complete axle shoudl have 4.10 gears.

use this website and the vin code to find out what gears you currently have. http://www.off-road.com/trucks4x4/ar....jsp?id=274535 you may or may not have to regear the front to match the rear.


the rear driveline will be fine, you will most likey need a custom front drive line made to match the lift.

also, spend quite a bit of time reading thru here. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f152/ there are TONS of threads on TONS of rigs that have SASed.

i am a Trail-gear dealer, so if you decide to get the TG kit i listed above i can hook you up.



what part of oregon are in in?

 

^ that about wraps it up.

I ordered my parts through Tofer! Nothing but good things to say.

 

I'm sure Scuba will have something to throw in.
Google is your friend. Look up the above mentioned links, also Marlin, SFA (which is solid front axle) also there different suspension set-ups like 4 link, 3 link, and leafs. Also look up longfields. (just for general axle knowledge) If you know how to weld that will certainly come in handy. And there is an entire section I would read before you do anything else.

Hope this is a good start.
