Looks to be very low for a spring over SAC. In fact, it looks almost identical to mine with IFS . Do you know your frame to ground measurement?

I hope it drives and wheels well for you. I am sure it was a lot of work.

Isnt that a good thing? The lower the better. If I do mine this coming spring I will probally be about where I am not (4" IFS and 35's), I dont want to go any higher.. low COG = greasy side down...

Of course...it was not a criticism, but a compliment.

For comparison, mine is only 19" on 35's with IFS, but 24" is still low with a SOA.

I think most well done SAS jobs can be a daily driver. My wife drives our 4Runner as her daily driver here in Santa Fe.....

Awesome! Take plenty of pics at Tellico! I assume that you're headed straight for Guardrail, Helipad, and Schoolbus?
