Why do you want more lift? I had 35s on mine with a body lift and small suspension lift. I wouldnt be doing a sas for lift, I also wouldnt waste money on the overpriced 4" IFS kits.

Personally if you are driving it onroad only BJ spacers are okay if you go offroad and do it hard forget them! 50mm with the torsion bars is about the most you can go trim the bumpstops in half and make sure you have free wheeling hubs. Thats about it or throw in 1"-2" bodylift.

As for doing a SAS the locktup site has all the info or go to Trail Gear and check out the install instructions

Why do you want more? I dont understand the reasoning and like I said a sas isnt done so you can lift your car higher :?
