Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

@Operator8

I was looking at that white 3G4R thinking “oh, another white SAS 3rd gen, who’s rig is that?”, it took me a little too long to realize it was mine, haha.

 

Diff clearance of a diamond 8” housing with 37” KM3’s at 25ish psi. 12.75”

 

Seats are in Almost ready to wheel lol

 

I don't know what you mean by a parts list but I do have the Martec kit for the front of my Tacoma. I'm still buttoning up some things so I couldn't tell you how it works. I will say it makes it super easy to put links in the front. The kit portion of the build was the quickest part. Getting the steering, brakes and axles are the tedious part for me.

 

This trek, has taken longer than I thought it would, and still not quite there….. But almost….

 

What is everyone’s thought on Belly height. Current build is 24” to the frame. 5.5” uptravel. 108” wheelbase with 37” tires. (It should setting .5”-1”. I have leaves up front and have limited droop so the leaves don’t fan out and unload for “fake” droop. Belly height is about 20” but I could get another inch or two if I cut a small wedge into the floor where the rear case (running duals) starts to contact.

Worth it or keep the floor stock?

I’ve already massaged the floor with a 2x4 and a jack.

 

That's pretty damn good, considering it's on leaf springs.

 

The key is not running high steer. Or not having a running driving example

 

What an amazing transformation,and its all so professionally done. I looks great and from the pictures it works great.

 

Yes I should be more specific! I'm really looking for recommend steering components, pitman arm, hydraulic? That sort of stuff, I have an understanding of the axles, links, etc.
