so the same height as mine with the AO rack mounted and the high lift bracket installed....but a lot more ground clearance 
Looks like my garage is 82.5".
One inch short!
I'll just have to show my wife how to air down before parking in the garage

It just looks surreal...since there are only two SAS, more than 2.75" lifted 100's out there.
And here is the business end of it all.
Man, I feel like a kid on christmas eve, I may not get any sleep tonight. I don't know which I am more excited about getting my 100 back or a week of skiing, I think its getting my 100 back, by a landslide.
that's what I'm thinking!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I want!!!!
AWESOME.

The valet at Vail is in for one heckuva week...

On the way there
THat Hi9 housing is just incredible. That would eliminate some of the concern with the "Hi8" stock differential.
Are the side gears broached for Toyota splines or is everything including the inner axles custom?
I see wheel spacers. Was that to get the WMS right? Does the axle use 80 series inners or something custom?

They were freakin out over mine last year, this one should BLOW their mind.
what makes you think I would let the Valet even touch this rig.
I got to Slee's and pictures do not do it any justice. This is a 100 on serious steroids, its makes a similar set up 80 look just puny. It drives very smooth, not as nice as the IFS, but I would not expect it too either. It does drive like an 80 with more power. I think the gearing needs to be higher than the 4.88, but no one makes one higher. The lack of pep, may be related to the 35 inch tires, or all that extra weight its carrying. But it will still cruise at 75-80 without any problem. Not sure i would want to go any faster than that anyway. Christo and Joe, took care of the little things that made this truck even better, then stock. For example, instead of installing the ARB locker switches, they installed the factor elocker switch from an 80, which makes the interior looks so much cleaner. They also installed a factory fog light switch for my PIAA lights. All of the attention to detail, just pays off.
All I can say is that this rig has far exceeded my expectations, and if you would ask me would I do it again, I would have to say " what took you so long, in the first place" This thing is a beast. I can't wait to take it out on the trail.
I will write more and submit more pictures once I get back to Houston.

Looking forward to seeing it back in Houston. Enjoy the road trip back home.
Valet didnt drive mine either, but they still freaked out over it.
