[chris_brown09]

Is a 86-95 ifs toyota frame the same as a ranger frame? i was gonne get the marlin crawler front spring crossmember but i wanna double check the frame width and make sure it'll fit

the toyota spring hanger is a little wider than the ranger frame its almost perfect for the swap except the rear isnt quite wide enough you will have to modify your frame for the rear spring mounts

what springs are you using?

I have toyota springs on my sas and the toy springs are slightly narrower- like 2-3/8" as compared to the ford's 2-1/2" spring width - I'm talking actual width of the leafs.

For me, it's no big deal - I just used a couple washers for spacers, but if those hangers are made to fit toy springs perfectly, other, wider springs may not fit - just a thought.

But I know some toy guys are using the waggy leafs for their sas's, and those are 2-1/2" like the ford's, so it'd probably work fine.

Don't know about marlin, but some companies offer a different crossmember when using a toy axle or a dana 44 - I assume their matching the waggy spring spacing on the d44 style, but not sure.

But if you have to cut and modify a crossmember, you might as well just save the cash and just buy the leaf hangers and some square tube and make your own.
