I have a question.  If you are going to do a SAS why not go with Toy axles?  They are way stronger and the swap would be almost identical.  Just a query.   ???

Toy truck axles are about 1 1/2 -2" narrower on each side so about 3-4" narrower overall. This would require wheel spacers to get the same width..

So you could do it I suppose.

We went with FJ80 axles for that reason. We didn't want to go narrower. FJ80 axles are about 3" wider on each side, so about 6" wider overall than a sidekick axle.

Your sammy axle will require wheel spacers to get it to the same width as a sidekick, or you'll need to extend one side and get a custom axle shaft.

I can understand the importance of wanting to stay Suzuki though!. :) We did for the longest time.
