ORS is doing it up on my 1995 pickup as we speak. they're great guys. they've got something up their sleeve all the time, and are totally into it. i would trust one of their mods without a second thought. btw mike, nice rig. makes me smile since mine will be looking quite a bit like yours in a couple days -- 4" superlift, new springs, 33s... cheers

Holy ˟˟˟˟˟. I'm drooling like Homer simpson.
Just wondering about why the front driveshaft isn't hooked up in any of the pics?

thanks! congrats on getting the work done. ORS should do an awesome job on it. you'll love the Superlift kit too. it's held up very well to everything i've put it through. and you can't beat those BFG M/Ts either.

And function 20 times better.

I just ordered up a bunch of parts to "fix" the SAS on my 4Runner... Had I only known, I would have hesitated long enough to get a price.

That's some sick looking work... I'm very impressed with the team at ORS...

That looks like one nice kit. Now the decision comes, long travel ifs or that SAS kit.

The SAW coilovers shouldn't cost any more than about $1300 with the coils, for the pair.

That's a nice setup, I hope they will put something like that out for the 3rd gen. I don't think that will be in my budget anytime soon.

AWESOME. If I were leaning on the crawler side of things, that is by far the setup of choice for my runner. DAMN!

in reality it wont function much better on the trail, it will only ride 110X better on the street. if not done perfectly right it will acctually function worse that a leaf sprung....

No, in reality it will flex to beat heck. Available travel is phenomenal. It is softer than leaves so it allows access to the whole travel window.

As for cost, compare apples to apples. This kit is getting a high end, long travel dampener and custom, completely adjustable ride height, spring rate, etc. on your rig. What does that cost a guy in parts?

Install is supposed to as easy as leaves.

It gives infinite adjustability, approach angle and bling. I would pimp the heck out of it.
