thanks man. I used to have samurai's. thery are pretty neat little rigs on there own to. I love the short wheel base. But they go down the road bad. I think I'm gonna save and start colecting for the sas. now I can buy the marlin kit for 175. that will locate the leafs I buy (probly 4 inch??) with the axel I find. Does it have to be a 80 to 85?? can it be out of a 4runner?? and does my steering work on the soild front axel?? thanks for all you help so far.
