Awesome! Now you don't have to worry about rolling over spontaneously.

what did you do to the rear suspension to match the front?
I did the front already and bout to raised the rear with FJ80's 2.5"lift coil with AllPro links and pan hard rod extension.

10-11"?! Woof! That is what I am really trying to avoid in my fantasy world of moving from my 2 door '85 EFI 4Runner to an early 90's 4 door. Basically, I want my truck with 4 doors and not have a truck with a huge lift.
Anybody know what the usual amount of lift results from doing an SAS? I was figuring the 4" pack resulted in about 5.5" over stock.
Did you use a stock length leaf or go with the longer springs? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to be well armed when it is my turn and was wondering if maybe the front spring hanger was wrong end out and was compressing longer springs giving more lift than the springs are supposed to...hell I don't know LOL!

i didnt measure before i started from the fender to the ground is:
front -- 45.5"
rear -- 37.5"

thats 8" over my 4" rear lift so i figure 10-12" above stock

-- please measure your fender to ground and let me know the distance maybe i am missin somthin, i am runnin 34" LTB's --

i used the longer 4" springs

if i did weld the hanger on backwards then it would only change it 1" and that would not result in min of 4" above what i expected -- i dont know. i like the height only problem is matching the rear

it took a month but i wasnt in a hurry and waited on welding most of the time this included rebuilding the axle and having to wait on a new housing since the first was bent

well i just posted under my brothers sig
