Sidekick/Tracker sfa swap info?

[pcole0920]

I just picked up a 94 Sidekick 4x4 as a cheap dd/beater but with that being said I can't ever leave well enough alone. I'm thinking of doing a sas with toyota axles and leafs with around a 31" tire. I've looked around but can't seem to find alot of info as what's the best leafs to use and info along that line. I know there was a white one around the forum that set very low. Any info, tips or pic will help. Thanks

The guy with the white one used a Samurai front axle. If you are only going to run 31's, I would consider using a Sami front axle. Maybe use a set of Samurai rear leaf springs to mount it.

The only reason leaning towards toyota axles is the wms to wms is close and I can find toyota axles easy. Plus I've got the 6 lug wheels. Thanks for the link pal

You will want to switch to a sami case or go with 5.29s. Even for 31s.

You likely have 5.12s stock.

Sami front sua with wheel spacers and swap in the tracker diff/gears is likely the best for just 31s. This will let you keep it just above stock height.

Sami rears, YJs, or yota rears are the best to go with. If you will go bigger later, if go with yota rears
