I don't know what i'm doing to the rear. The leafs that are on there are trashed. They have a "negative arch" if that explains it. I think i'm going to sit on it for a while and search craigslist and race-dezert for a deaver pack.. or

He happened to have a used set of T100 axles laying around... he just hooked me up with them (well at a discount anyway) cause he had no use for them and they were used...

Im probably gonna use a 3" leaf spring from trail-gear with some custom shackles for my 4runner. Probably put the springs under the axle with some weld on brackets and a u-bolt thing from total chaos.

why would you do a SUA swap, lol?
you would be at stock height again with the 3" springs, so that would be pointless.

Also, aalbo, you should check out the chevy 63" spring swap..
They're much larger springs so they'll flex alot better, but they'll be smoother when you land a jump too.
more arch = harder spring.

actually i was just talking to a guy whos got a set of chevy springs for 100 bucks. Still got to relocate the front spring mounts though. I'll have to look into that some more. right now i'm just trying to concentrate on the front....

because spring under has a lot of advantages vs spring over setups, especially when in comes to high speed stuff. read this http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/showthread.php?t=99344
