    Aw it can't be too bad. I've already cleared well enough for at least 37's. Not sure how it'll run with the new setup so I guess we'll see.:D

    Thanks! Hadn't heard of it. Did some searching after and couldn't find any info on what vehicles you can find these on. Any ideas?

    Last time I talked to Eric, he wanted to do what our buddy Mike (heatstroke) did with his rear suspension. Trac bar and inboarded Chevy springs. Not necessarily more flex but less stress on the leafs. I don't agree that more flex is better, though. That's a whole other topic haha

    I need help. I don't know what the eff I'm doing. Who is available to text message back and forth while I shop for parts? I'm too impatient to wait for TW posts.

    I'm curious if you guys have any lists off the top of your head of common breakages on the trail for SAS rigs and those that are able to be repaired in the field. What spare parts are must-haves specific to SAS

    I usually keep a spare set of axle shafts, a lock-out hub, and a few u-joints. Me and all my buddies have the yota axles, so all the parts are interchangeable.

    A wise thing to have would be a rear driveshaft. Tie rods are important as well. And as Adam said, u-joints (not only for axles which doesn't apply to toyota. Driveshaft Ujoints too, Spare hubs is ideal since they are the weak link most of the time. Belts are good to have as well, I've blown a few belts off before just driving down the hwy :rolleyes:
