X3, there's a ton of pics in that thread. I think it's called "show us those jap round fenders" or something like that.

What size tires you plan on running? With proper axle placement and minimal trimming, you should be able to get at least 36s on with 4", bigger if you do some finagling.

i have a set of 35s right now but im thinkin 37s i plan on goin with marlin and there springs only move the axle a 1 or so i thought of the all pro 6 inch cause i like the looks of marlins but he has 5s and some long shacles i think with some big fenders so i thought 6 would be good do u know what kind of quality all pro is compared to marlin i had there sas kit on my last yota and they kinda screwed me around on the shipping and stuff so id it worth the extra 250 to buy marlin

All pro, marlin and sky all carry very good quality springs. All pro and marlin are both stand up companies and will try and take care of you, but my brand loyalty lies with marlin. How did all pro screw you on shipping?

Speak to Infernal, he works at All Pro. I am sure he can help you out. I ran 35" with no lift for a while. I had no bed and trimmed the heck out of my front finders. I do not recommend this but it can be done.

thats shitty man

That would put a bad taste in my mouth too. I'd call, ask to speak to a manager and explain the situation. If they get snotty and say "what do you want us to do about it now, after the fact?", I'd tell them you're planning on making another substantial purchase and would like to know why you should again take a chance on giving them your business. If they're a half way decent company you'll get a good response and an offer to try and make it right again, but if you get a poor response, bad attitude and hear something along the lines of "we won't starve if you don't buy our springs", I'd steer very clear of them!

I know these types of transactions happen too often, but the problem is we're only hearing one side of the story. I'm not at all saying you're lying, but you have to understand that people will usually take what they hear with a grain of salt.

Good luck, you have a tough decision ahead!

My brother recently did a sas swap using All pro's cause they had a good deal and got (1) 4" spring and (1) 5" spring... But they worked it out so its cool. I'd still go with marlin though.

bonebuilt · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 14, 2008, 09:13:22 PM »

ya i want to go with marlin but the 250 dollar price difference is big with the budget i have
