Thanks everyone. I was really looking forward to seeing it on 35's too but... [RANT] Costco tried to screw me out of 100 bucks. Went in tuesday and got a quote for 790 and i went in today to get them put on and they wanted 890:confused: The manager was on vacation so I just walked out.[RANT OFF] Guess I'll head down to Les Schwab tomorrow and see what they can do for me.

How did it drive after the alignment? Any road issues?



that SAS kit was a lot more involved than I thought it would be but a dang sweet kit. It had EVERYTHING except the front axle. I was impressed.

Eric did 99% of the work and it turned out great. I was a dang good supervisor for the project.

Cool! You'll love the difference on the trail it will definatly be worth the time and effort :cool:

One thing I would recomend are the knuckle ball gussets as the Toyota axles are pretty easy to bend right where they neck down.

I thought that Mitch was the supervisor, when I stopped you were out playing in Idaho.;) Pitbulls would be sick, what would you run 37's.
You saw my pops truck on the 38's his has the 5" fronts though.

lol......I was playing CEO that day, I left Mitch in charge.


Eric.....you do know you are probably going to want lower gears with the 35s. You might as well gear it to the 5.29 or whatever the toy gears are and run 37s and do a little fender trimming.

What the heck right?


You still havent answered me if it drives ok to?

It drives really good, Its definately a different ride that high up.

And I'm already talking to Cory about the gears. Gonna go with 5.29's, I was thinking going with duals but I'll see how i do with gears for now.

so when doing an SAS, what factors play into doing leafs compared to links?
Click to expand...

Well the determining factor for me was that leafs came with the kit:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Seriously though I haven't seen many linked Toyotas and as my first project I wanted to do something i wouldnt mess up.:greg:
