Re: my truck
Why not run Chevy springs in the rear? Better flex than Marlin, though a bit less lift. I have a set I would sell you for $50. I'm in NOVA. BTW, I have a worn set of 35" SSRs on black rock crawlers, if you wanted to get em unmounted, you could have all 4 for $75.

Re: my truck
i didnt use chevys, simply because i didnt want to i wanted to stay with all toyota. my original plan was to do a 3/4 elliptic leaf spring setup, so i would get plenty of flex... well i scrapped that idea and jsut threw yota springs under it... later i will change the rears out to marlins 5" springs... or maybe a 4link king coil???
no i didnt use the marlin kit, i used factory toyota hangers, and a 2" reciever hitch for the front hanger, the rear was toyota hangers and Sky-manufacturing shackle hangers. i used marlins shock hoops, and i used f350 6" lift shocks.
i used marlins rotors, and IFS calipers. as well as brakelines.
The sas is simple, if you stick with toyota, it can be done in 8 hrs of work... very straight forward. just start collecting parts... and regardless of what ANYONE says, DONT DONT DONT use a d44 on that truck... it makes no since.
btw... if you need a hood/tailgate/fender/door for that truck... lemme know, ive got plenty.

I don't know it's in there somewhere. It's whatever. It probably wasn't worth it, but I like it. I'm just trying to get 4wd back. I'll probably give Tim a call sometime this week.
