    Hey man if you go to Autozone or Checker in the towing section they have smaller coil spacers that will give about 1" lift

    Thanks Man! I'm not sure exactly, I was at my brothers shop and it was laying in the back from some guy who got fired so they gave it to me. I'm thinking its one of the really old pro comps, but not too sure.

    Yeah Definitely. I can get that when I get home. Its really just for looks at the moment it needs more support cause it shakes a little and makes it looks my KC's are flashing and on a recent trip to pagosa both light mounts cracked off. Im thinking Trail Gear Stinger in the near future

    I have a question.... I'm debating about either going with a SAS with a 9" or getting a Total Chaos Kit (86-95 Toyota 4WD Generation 2 Caddy Kit). I haven't heard much about the total so I'm just trying to see what all you guys think about it...

    Thanks

    Hey man, just gonna throw my 2 cents in, although someone will know much more than I do about the Total Chaos. The first thing someone will probably look at is price, and if I remember correctly, the Total Chaos runs about 1800, minus the t100 axles. A SAS depending where you get it runs like 1200 before the axle. Also, it says on their site, the Total Chaos gives you about 3"-4" of lift, and if you are wanting more lift, SAS is the way to go since it ranges from 4, 5 and 6 inches and even more with blocks( but thats not ideal). The TC lift will give you about 12" of travel while most SAS lifts give you about 14" of travel. Lastly, it also depends on preferance since its really either leafs or coilovers. Hope this helped shed some light and hopefully someone will step in with more info and experience.

    Oh and one last thing, what will the application be more towards? Crawling, or desert running, or just all around?

    It'll be an "All Around" type of rig, I live in Cali and work in Nevada. So rocks, snow, desert and alot of highway.

    Personally Id rather stick with a SAS. The TC seems more for pre-runners. Also with TC you'd get an extra wide wheel base which sometimes on trails that can cause problems

    Yeah the more I am finding out the more I think I like the SAS too. Although i still think the TC looks really good.

    Thanks for the input though "Six"
