    I'm REALLY wanting to do a SAS on my Tacoma and throw chevy springs in the rear. I can't justify spending $1700 on an IFS lift kit when I could easily put that $$$ towards SASing my truck. I saw a link on here for a company that sells the kit to do the SAS on the 1st gen tacomas, less the axel and drive line, for $2000:

    http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/new...8d4400a08c456a

    I only wheel my truck maybe 20% of the time and the rest is daily driving. So I would want gears lower than the stock 4.10s, but not too low so I top out at like 60mph. If you have input and/or pics, post away.

    Why do you need SAS if your only wheeling 20% of your drive time. Also what kind of IFS lift are you looking at?

    I want to wheel more, I can't do things on IFS that I would have a better chance to on a staight axel. Maybe some people who are badasses can wheel on IFS, but I can't.

    By SAS'ing your rig, you're really gonna sacrifice the daily drivability.

    You can't just slap on a SAS kit and suspect it'll drive perfectly. I can quarentee you'll have lots of fine-tuning and customization to work on after-the-install.

    My recommendations?

    Buy another daily driver car and go forth with SAS the truck.
    OR
    Keep the truck as daily driver & buy a trail rig and build it.

    i'd also have to advise against a SAC if you dont wheel a lot

    i'd also suggest getting out and wheeling a LOT more in your IFS truck first...LEARN to wheel...THEN build as necessitated by your skill level
