    Post a WTB in the BST forum.

    Specify anything you want about the unit (features/year ranges/price range etc) as well as your location, distance you'll travel, etc.

    Are you 4x4 already, looking for a DD axle or prerunner and will be doing a PD swap trans and looking for a PD axle?

    -Cheapest will probably be a waggy 44.
    -wonton & 14b
    -Not a fan, but tg offers a near complete kit
    -Custom built? Diamond, RS

    Picked up a driver-side drop Waggy 44 last week for $100. Also got an AMC 20 thrown in I'll be scrapping. I'm in no way close to doing a SAS on my 99, but I have the storage and figured I could start the months of research. And while this Waggy front might end up being more work than it's worth. The good thing about them IMO is they're generally cheap. So you can pick one up and still decide to go with another axle.

    That's cheap for a waggy 44. Cheapest I'd seen is about $400 in my area. I rather built a waggy44 than go with a tg unit.

    Then @malburg114 front axle won't work unless you do trans swap to a passenger because his axle is p-drop and your tcase is d-drop.

    Why not custom built? It's not that hard to assemble. Piece event you need, contact axle builder to cut to your wms and provide inners.

    Nope. But if you spend some time and bookmark the different website, you can gathered all the information you need to built one.

    Or run a Trail Gear tacoma sas kit C for ~$7k

    5k but probably be parting it out here soon. All you’d need is a driver drop housing
