Im alittle confused as to why people always want to loose the 8.25 when they put a SFA under the kj.

Why dont you just make new upper A-Arm's with heim joints like Al did..


More gearing choices? Stronger by some degree, even if small?


Or to match the full length axle going up front.?.? :wink:

5.13s? What the heck? Are you planning on putting 40s on that thing???
35"s,to bring it back to "stock" like performance I would need 4.88's,I want a little more low end for all the city driving I do,plus it will really help out more on the trails.Don't want or need to go past 80mph anyway,plus the 3.7 makes all it's power in the higher rpm range so 5.13's will preform much better than 4.88's.It's all in the gear ratio,you don't need 500hp to turn 44" tires,I've seen a totally sick Samuri with 2 1/2ton military axles running 53" tires with a 100hp 4-cylinder,was also running 6.72 gears.


I had 5.29's with my 33's on my 85' toyota pickup with a 22re putting out about 130-140hp. That was a nice set up. Before that i had my 86' toyota with a 22r in it with 36" super swampers and stock 4.10 gears. Yeah that didn't get out of it's own way. Anyway I think 5.13's with 35"s and the 3.7 would be a perfect combo. It's all in the gearing. :wink:

WOW! How do you get nearly 9 feet of tire under a Samurai? The whole truck can't be much more than 10 feet long! :shock:
