As per the SAS: I have tacked the front spring hanger on already. I replaced my rear leaf springs last year with some sky-jacker leafs- I will be moving those up front because the center pin is 2 inches forward compared to the trail gear front leafs that came with the swap. I got some 63s from a local junkyard for the rear, fabbed my own front perches for those out of a 3 &1/2" outside diameter, 1/4" think tube, the rear shackles are from Marlin, 5" center hole to center hole, bolted to trail gear creeper joints in the back. I had the fab shop bend a tube to attach my top shock mounts for the rear(similar to the one sky manufacturing sells, lil different though). I have the rear axle service kit from Marlin as well so she rolls like new. The new rear diff is a v6 housing, 5.29, ARB. I also used the Marlin rebuild kit for my front axle, eco seals, all the good stuff, replace as much hard ware as I could(man just the nuts and bolts for a project like this are expensive!!!). Rebuilt the v6 calipers I got from the junkyard, only had to replace one of the pistons due to to much pitting/rust, repainted. Also pulled the master cylinder and break booster out of the 94 4Runner I got other parts from, should help in the breaking category. Going to start cutting and grinding the IFS either later Saturday or early Sunday...
