If I SaS the '88 Toyota, it'll probably get the exact same treatment... although oddly I might keep it spring OVER axle in the rear and Spring Under up front...
Those flat keyed billet Front Range Off Road Fab steering arms are pretty critical. I also was going to have the tie rod ends drilled from underneath to move it down more.
Ruff Stuff Specialties makes some real nice high clearance low profile spring under axle perch kits as well, which would make this setup even more idea... I'll perhaps attempt this on the stock '84 front housing under the Samurai now, but ultimately the Rock Assault front housing will be the most ideal to get more lift out of SPUA without going too crazy on the high arched springs. The '88 Toyota though I really might need Skyjacker Softride 4" lifted '88 rear leafs up front to keep the pickup just a bit over stock height where I'd like it. Most of the hanger kits will add another inch or more of height with where the spring mounts up front and having 5" long front shackles frenched into the frame...
Lower is better in so many ways, and with the Rock Assault housings and Ruff Stuff high clearance low profile SPUA perches, I think this can work out really nicely... Those Front Range flat steering arms are pretty critical to make this work as well.

That's really helpful, awesome rig! Shackles in front like a stock Samurai or a Jeep... I was trying to get away from that but shackle reversal on a Samurai is difficult, but Liquid Iron Industries slider boxes instead of shackles might be the easy way out though!
