Lots of threads about this.

It really comes down to how much money is in the budget.

lots of after market solid axle swap kits you can look at.

If your going Toyota you might want to figure if it is easier to swap the newer drive train into a older truck .

Lots of different ways to go.:jessica:

1st gen 4runner sas axle selection

I want to do a sas as well, but i want to take my axles wider. I have read quite a few write ups and forums, where as they go into great detail in the actual swap most of them use an 85 and older front axle but i want to go wider. i am really looking to use a T-100 axle in the rear which is 66.75" any one know of any vehicles that use a similarly wide axle with the differential offset that would work on the toyota's?
