sas questions

[Bloomcounty]

Hey you guys if I do an SAS will the front wheels off the ifs fit the straight axle ? and also in marlins sas kit I seen he has wheel spacers why ?

[RamToy]

Yes tires will fit..

They offer wheel spacers because.. the stock track width ( stock width of the axles ) from the pre-86 or pre-ifs are narrower than the IFS. So when you do a SAS, you can get your front axle to be as wide as your rear one is.

If your referring to wheel lug and lug pattern, that all depends on what axle you use for your swap. If it is just over to a Toyota straight axle, yes, the 6 lug pattern will be the same. IFS is wider, that is why there are spacers with the kits.

good luck.

In the latest issue of FourWheeler Mag they do a solid axle swap on a 4-runner and use a custom made 6 lug Toyota axle that is already wide enough and does not require the use of wheel spacers. It also used V-6 electric locker and gears I believe. You should check it out.

They should work, but why upgrade your rotors and not do a caliper upgrade? The V6 have larger pistons ( which equal better stopping power ). You will probably have to do a MC upgrade as well.

he prolly doesnt needs a new MC i am running big ass GM calipers with no problems.

No its not manditory, but it does help.

If you use them you will need to replace you stock wheel studs with some about a half inch longer. Wish I woulda known that when I was swapping the rotors. Now I gotta take the whole hub apart again... :cuss:

I just finished the Marlin kit swap. Took me three days by myself, and that was with the other axle already prepped. :No pity:

If you go Marlin, get the whole kit. Don't piece-part it. Comes with rotors that allow you to use your IFS calipers. :yes:
