1.5"x5.5" but I think I'm going to take it back and get a 1.5"x4.5" instead, 5.5" is a bit to big for a Sammy. (got the dies exchanged) so now I just need to order the 1.5"x.120 wall DOM tubing.

The rear disc brake conversion kit came in, looks well made with 3/8" steel brackets and 10.9 grade bolts, so it shouldn't break off the diff if I lock up the brakes :). The new front rotors came in, to bad they sent me ones for a 4 bolt Honda car  ::) should of opened the box at the store, but the calipers are the right ones.
And the rims and shocks shipped on the 29th so they should be here within two weeks (rims had to be made) they don't keep the 2.5" back spaced  rims in stock.
I also sold the front third member, so cost of the truck is down to $250 now, I'll hopefully come out ahead time it's all parted out  ;).

And I found a store that sells a rebuild kit for the Toyota cv joint so I will be using it for my rear shaft, they will hopefully be able to make me a front cv shaft as well.

And incase anyone wants to know the width of the yota diffs, the rear is 55" wide and the front is 56.5" wide.

No there's lots of room between that rock and the rocker panel, a hole 1/4"... :laugh:

Just a little update on the sj, still waiting on some parts but I think I I've got every thing I need ordered.
So here's the plan: rear yj springs all the way around, outbourd front springs 2" each and use Sky's toy axle swap kit, all Toyota steering and four wheel disc brakes, Spidertrax's Tcase disc park brake, samurai drive shafts (for now), spooled rear, ARB air locker up front, 5.29 R&P gears, stretch the wheelbase 3"(1" in the rear and 2" up front), add 5" to the front of the frame, and build some bumpers...

Well the yj springs I ordered from JC Whitney where out of stock so they canceled my order >:(. So I'll get them from low range instead, but now I'm thinking that instead of going to all the work of out boarding the front springs 2" I should just four link the front, it wouldn't cost much more using heim joints, and it would be about the same amount of fabricating.

Here's the pros and cons that I can think of for the four link...
Pros:
1. Better ride.
2. Better approach  angles.  
3. Better traction.
4. More suspension travel.
5. And it looks way cooler!

Cons:
1. It would cost $300-400 more.
2. It would take more time to design then the yj's.

That's all I can think of right now.  
Any advice and or ideas are welcome, let me know what you think.

That is how the 4-link on my old SJ was started.  We were going to make a traction bar and decided it wasn't all that much more to just build a full 4-link.  :D

For the front, I would seriously consider air shocks or coil overs.  Moonzuki put one together and there isn't a lot of room up front for shocks, coils and the panhard bar.

Ya, if it was a Samurai I would just do the yj's since I wouldn't need to outboard the springs.

Does Moonzuki have any close up  pic's of his front four link?

As for room up front I was thinking of doing a triangulated four link, so I wouldn't need a panhard bar, plus with the 6.5" wider Toyota diff and 2.5" backspaced rims their's a fare bit more room under there then with the stock diff, so their should be a nuff room for the shocks and coils. And I'd hate to spend $1,200 on a set of coilovers when I just bought the four 32" Rancho 9000xl's for it.
