wolfrunners sas and chev spring swap
K so everyone else has posted a sas on there trucks and runners so i thought maybe i would too. my 4runner is of the 1993 make and has about 209,000 miles on it with a worn out 3.0. this is my first major project on my runner. we started on the swap about a week ago but it is taking time due to having to work..
The one getting the swap is the green one.

So saturday i will be renting the big welder to finish welding all the fabrication together. I just dont trust the 110 welder to hold it all together. So this weekend will be spent fininshing up painiting, welding, trimming metal cleanly, and checking flex. I am very picky on how my vehicles look when they are lifted. They have to be very clean and look almost stock, but lifted of course.

Looking good man! 
Could you still move your rear axle back to maybe help out with the clearance?
You will definitely have to lose that rear bumper IMO..
BTW get the front end on the ground i wanna see how it sits! I have some chevys waiting for mine..

OK the blocks in the back are 2". I think that the runner will sit level when the front springs settle. the rear bumper will be going just not sure when. since the last pictures i have posted we have moved alot around. i will post those next. the leaf springs are out of a 1997 chev 2wd 1/2 ton.

ok so here are some of the new pictures
here it is!!!
side view
Its really important to me .....How does it look? tires look to big????
The back tires are close to the front of the fenderwell due to an offset block. since this picture we have moved the hangers and shackles back more. the rear tire dosent look that stuffed under there so much now.
plus we flexed it out and i am not worried to much about rubbing in the rear. it looks like i can make these tires work.

I did this conversion to my 91 4runner. I'm running 12" springs with 2" blocks in the back and 10" springs in the front. I'm thinking of going back to coils in the rear. You did a clean job with the swap. What size tires and wheels are you running?
