iam currently putting a sas kit on my 2003 tacoma and decided to use 64 in chevy springs instead of toyota springs it will hold up to alot more beating. i would like to run 38s maybe not to sure yet.

the chevy springs flex bad ass in the front the problem is the apprach angle is killed by the fact that the spring has a centered pin. so u have like 31.5 inches of spring in front of the axle.

well here is the thing i iam just looking for the height. i mean i would love to have the smoth ride and all but i would like to have like 10 in of lift on it and i am not sure how much the coilovers will give me. And to everyone else i am trying to get some addvise on what to do with my toy and i am not really sure on how to upload the pics so if you could tell me that would be great thanks.

coilovers ill give you as much lift as you want depending how you mount them. also isnt 10 inches of lift a lil tall for 38s i mean i have 4 inches of lift and 40s

legand71 · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 30, 2008, 08:57:56 AM »

no i have the fabtech 3.5 coilovers and i can only fit 33 on it i mean i dont want to have to trim anything in the wheel wells or any thing my truck almost looks brand new and dont want to trim the hell out of it thats all.

with a 6" lift and coilover you can easily fit 38s especially swampers since they only measure out to like 35" chevy springs would be retarded even more since you want your truck to look nice, it would make you yourself look like a dumbass to anyone that knows jack

i was just looking around and saw a truck that kat customs did its called ultimate taco and he has all coilovers around and 46 iroks on it. it is all sub framed that is one nice truck even if he dosent place in the ROCKS with it like alot of you guys do. i think i may go with that .

you would not be able to fit a 38 on the truck without trimming the fenders, unless you only hit the pavement and never let the tire move up and down. i think that he is talking about coilovers with the IFS

They don't make an Irok in the 46" flavor , you mean 46" Baja Claws

use a 2in drop hanger, the toyota springs, run a 6in shackle, some 5175 Bilsteins and call it good. you can easily run 38s without a problem.
10in of lift.... you will need some very stiff shocks and sway bars to keep that thing from wanting to roll on corners.

with links its totally doable, stuffing a tire is a whole different story when your axle doesnt shift 10" back with flex

ok so what would be the best i never have done rock climbing i was raised in jersey so all flat land but wwe did alot of muddin and pit climbing but its all dirt so really i dont need the flex but thanks toy4x4ota.

legand71 · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 30, 2008, 01:34:05 PM »

hey infernal thanks for the correction

you found the truck its a nice toy i would like to go with the same style i think instead or any springs at all.

Ramrod · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 30, 2008, 01:37:49 PM »

well a 3 link with coilovers is ideal for ride and tuneablility but will cost quite a bit more than just a standard sas with leafs. for leafs id run some rancho 44044s or marlin or trailgear springs

legand71 · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 30, 2008, 02:06:55 PM »

ok well thaks for the input i am not really worrieed about the cost of it thats not a problem i just want what will be the best thats all.

THK Matt · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 30, 2008, 06:14:24 PM »

then go with a All Pro Taco Supreme SAS.

Rockcrawlintoy · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 31, 2008, 11:45:36 AM »

also move the front end a lil bit forward when do it. it will allow the front truck to be lower and not rub so bad
