So I built a bad samurai last year and hated the way it drove on the road.(Plus my wife and kids wanted something more comfortable) So I sold it and moved on to my 96 4 door kick. I want to do the trail slayer with a 32 inch tire but I want to be able to drive it to work too to keep the miles off my superduty. My question is the handling and body roll, is there any? Or what charistics changed from the IFS to the yota axle and height difference?
I know properly lifted vehicle will handle just fine,  so what about the trail slayer?

My Trail Slayer kit rides smooth on the road even with the 38 boggers I have on mines. Its my daily driver and weekend toy. The only thing that sucks is the gearing still has to go a little lower but here in Hawaii our speed limit is max 50mph so it keeps up with traffic easily. I would say do it cause it one helluva kit and you will love the new flex !!!!!!

I am with waiukea boi. Mine runs and drives great on the road. I'd say better than stock. Took me a little while to the alignment and death wobble taken care of but not it is fine. But I was doing that myself rather than taking it somewhere

Ya I cant justify spending the cash doing an IFS lift(body lift is not my favorite either) when I know there is something better out there. I am a perfectionest, I just want  awesome trail capabilities but still maintain road driveability. Thats why I want to only go with 32's, becasue of the gearing issues and jonny law in Utah is getting stricter every year >:(

I didn't notice much difference between 32 and 33 and the kit is designed for 33. Just go with the 5.71s. :D

That is what I had planned, 5.71's with ARB's and 32's, but if there is not much difference between the 33's and 32's might as well as go with the 32's.

Thanks

If you look on marlin crawlers site there is a guy selling the axles you need. 85 front and 86 rear fairly cheap
