need help with building my yota

[jarhead23]

hi ever one i have a 02 yota 2.7 L. it has 9 9" and 35 12.50's. stock gears and all. my lift kit is messed up in the front. the tires bow in in the front. and i rip out my reverse. i am looking for suggestions on how i should start building it?????

[Zartan74]

what type of wheeling do you do?
How big or small is your budget?
It sounds like you have a lot of repairs ahead.
Could be time to swap on a Solid Axle.
Is it your Daily Driver?

[jarhead23]

um i want to do more trails than anything. and yeah the front end is gone. i was just thinking and looking in to the sas for it. and my buget is pretty big prolly like 5 grand or so for now.

[jarhead23]

and no is not my dd no more was in the past but not no more

[Zartan74]

I would def. go with the SAS. If your interested in tough rock trails I would check into a roll cage, sliders, marlin T-case. I am not familiar with Tacos, I have a friend who did his with coils but my SAS swap was with all-pro leaves. Look around at what others have done and how it worked for them.

[jarhead23]

yeah i have read alot bout them and me and my cousin are working on a part list now i aint going to run the coils going to run leave springs for sure. i have ordered some little stuff for it like the all pro leave springs for the rear and the marlin crawler clutch. also thought bout the spool in the rear but dont really no much bout them as of now. and ordering the roger brown 1 body lift and going to take my 3 off and run just one inch.

[Zartan74]

If I had it to do over I would do a spool in the rear, it will save you a little money and you can put a locker in the front. My all pro front leaves flex very well but they are old, my brother runs Marlins leaves in front they seem to have a higher ride height but aren't quite as soft as the all pros.

a spool in the rear would be stronger than doing what most do who weld the spyder gears, i would only commit to the spool if i didnt have to daily drive it very far but since you said its not a dd it probably be a good option for ya

sas can take time to gather parts, i would look at the leaf spring kits companys sell and use those and other parts lists to figure out all the parts youll need

[jarhead23]

yeah i want to run leafs on the front for sure. and for the spool i just didnt no if it was worth it or not i mean i will drive it on the road but just not ever day. so i prolly will jsut order a spool. got a ? tho what kinda of axle do i need. i have heard the full width axle and heard the 44 that comes out of a late 80's jeep wagon? and once i get it to rebuild would i need new hubs to make it a 6 lug liek the rear of my truck or what. dont really no anything bout sas other than what i have read.
