just wondering how the solid axle swap will work with the warn winch i have mounted on the front of my 1995 toyota pickup? will it interfere with it at all?

it depends. If the winch mount goes too far back it'll interfere with where the hangers go. If it does your going to have alot of fun with that.

also depends on what the winch is mounted to and where it is mounted.....

I'd concentrate on the SAS and where the springs are gonna go, then worry about where to re-mount the winch. In other words, I wouldn't let my winch location dictate whether or not I was going to do a SAS, or cause me a lot of grief thinking about it. Since the front hangers pretty much need to go in a specific area, and the winch has more options.

87 4Runner with a 12,000# industrial winch.

The 12,000# is a monster. I just got rid of that winch & down sized to a Warn M8000.

If your going from photobucket then just click & paste without the [img] on either end or click on addition options & then click browse & make sure the pic is 80 KB or less.

jaywross · « **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:04:29 AM »

so it has to be 80kb or less in order to show up as a picture?

jimbo74 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2008, 11:04:07 AM »

it doesnt look like you have any flex?

jaywross · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2008, 02:54:07 PM »

ya, its not the greatest its just stock springs in the rear that are sagging....i'm thinking about getting either the trail gear or marlin springs.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:50:38 PM »

I am with 79coyotefrg, NO TG... and stock rear springs flex a lot, at least on my 85 they did.

jaywross · « **Reply #26 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:21:37 PM »

ok flex what does anyone think about re arcing/ add a leaf..start a thread maybe

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:24:57 PM »

re arching just gives back the arch you lost. AAL will give you a stiffer spring pack which will just make the problem worse. Unless you get zero rate AAL that is. To get the best flex, SAS and use Marlin

springs all around. Rears up front and chevy springs in rear are also another good choice.

jaywross · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:34:17 PM »

i think i'll have to get the marlin 5" maybe in the rear, i have a 4.5" ifs lift in the front so i assume the 5" springs would be teh way to go?

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:37:01 PM »

ifs lift and a Marlin lift are two different things. The Marlin lift uses new hangers and stuff... so its actually larger than just 5 inches. RCT is fitting 40s with a 4 inch lift on his 3rd gen.
