Only $1500? Item list plz? For that kinda cash i can do one by summer:clappy:chevyxj said:Would highly recomend doing an SAS. I have a 88 4runner that had a 4" IFS lift and 35's. Just did a SAS on it last weekend and have no complantes. This is my DD and I things it drives way nicer with the straight axle VS the IFS set-up that was on it. All said and done with mine im into it about $1,500. I bought a few parts used and bought alot of stuff that you wouldnt have to buy if you were going to do it (5.29's, lockrights, rebiult complete frt end)

FordFrk06 said:so if you were me, you probably wouldnt do anthing with the stock springs right now?
Pook said:if your not involved in the trail gear drama or don't care , there SAS swap kit is very complete for $ they're asking. http://trail-gear.com/sas.html and they got free shipping. all you need is a decent Toy front differential to swap in
Alot of the other companies are now lowering there prices too. marlin crawler, allprooffroad etc.

84Toyota4x4 said:Got it. See, I hadn't heard of Trail-Gear until semi recently (I guess months ago now), and when I did see their website, it was strangely a lot like Marlins old site, and I thought they might be related with a joint venture or something because I had heard Marlin was moving, and I thought maybe Trail Gear was a brain child to have two companies in different locations or something.
Turns out theyre not even slightly related then eh? More like the utmost of competitors it sounds like. So Chris used to work for Marlin, left, went to Trail Gear and started helping them out with Marlins stuff or something like that. Got it.
I had heard names dropped here and there, and I remember thinking that Chris worked for Marlin, but I kept hearing it in relation to Trail Gear recently, so I guess that makes sense now.
Thanks for the clarification!
