Flex shots of 3rd Gen 4Runner SPRING OVER SAS

Here's the orignal thread talking about my buddies buildup
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/3rd-gen-sas-leaf-conversion-done-60157/

Here's some flex shots we took today. This things flexs like crazyand tucking those 37's pretty easy. Spring over SAS is just amazing on these 3rd Gen 4Runners rather than other ways I've seen here on yotatech. It looks huge just sitting there but it's using up all the springs front and rear. Enjoy!

















Can anybody spot the 3000 acre forrest fire in the background

Yea, it's got the 44044's and chevy 63's. As for more pics, we only took it out to flex it out in that rut in the first couple of pictures and then took it to that rock ledge to see how much clearance he had in front of the bumper. There's no way anything smaller than his 4Runner would have even came close to climbing that rock ledge.

We're taking it out next weekend so we'll have more pictures then.

I'd be scared to take that thing on serious trails with alot of off camber stuff with all that lift.
interested to see some more trail pics as well

It'll see some serious trail use. Off camber stuff maybe alittle tricky but it should handle all the big rocks with no problem

The off camber stuff will be tricky, but the height helps when approaching ledges like the one in the picture. It will take a little while to figure out exactly where I want it at.

Very very nice. I'm in Westminster, right by Jeff Co airport. I would love to hook up and check out your rig in person.

Again, very very nice. What I hope to do in the future.

Thanks for all the compliments from everyone. It has been a major PITA. I drive by ther every day on my way to Denver. We do need to hook up sometime

I DEF know the trouble of that kind of PITA. All the measuring and making sure everything fits. To get mine totally done took 7 weeks. Then again, I paid someone to do mine.......

Looks good once again.
