Naaah the thing is that on a truck with shackles in front of the front axle, the body rolls from the front corner on a tight turn and with a SR it doesnt. You can really tell if you put attention to you hood on a tight turn.
Just get a shackle reversal. Even if you know you arnt going to hit the rocks. I have an LT1 Chevy motor witha 700r Tranny in mine on SOA and it was horrible on turns around the block. When I did the SR kit it made a world of difference.
I've got a '85 x-tra cab and swapt a 4.3 from a Silverado with a 700r tranny and advance adapters to hook up a Marlin Crawlers dual t-case kit. Its working great.
Also have a 1988 fj-62 with a Chevy LT1 700r and np205 t-case. All is good but the rear end cant handle the power, I've broke it...
