you might look into re-treads if your looking for cheap tires. I dont know much about them,but theres a few people on here that do.

What else could you do?

You could leave the IFS alone, put on 33x10.50, and spend the SAS money on something that will dramatically increase the capability of the truck, namely lockers, armor, and gears, then learn to drive the IFS to it's limit and THEN decide if you want SAS, longtravel, a buggy, etc.

Why do you want a SAS? What kinds of trails do you do? Is this a trail-only rig, a daily driver, or something in between?

Are you a good welder? Detail oriented?

I'm not a huge fan of the all-pro SAS kit that was put on Tippy right before I bought her. There are better kits out there. (The All pro leaf springs de-arched within months).

But seriously I agree with TC. Get your IFS rock solid and then decide on SAS> How do I know? There is a lot of stuff that he has schooled tippy on with his IFS rig and lockers with full armour.

Sure his truck doesn't look as cool (at first) but you should see peoples faces whjen they see what he can do. They are BLOWN away.

Tippy on the left, TC's rig on the right....

i am trying to do an sas on my 87 and i am kinda new to modifying my truck this much so do any of you have any pointers or things to look out for?

First tip would be to purchase a kit. I recommend a kit from WabFab, a vendor here.

That will help you enormously if you are new to it.

Second would be to look in the Solid Axle Swap section here at YT. There are several very good threads detailing the swap and issues encountered.

Good luck.

tc

Ummmm - how many threads are you going to start asking the same question?

Trolling is looked on kindly here...

yota87

well i am kinda new so give me a break haha and i think you are the guy i wanted to talk to did you just get your drive shafts done?

check out all pro off road, trail gear, and marlin crawler of coarse. for sas kits.
u will find what u need there.

yota87

ok you guys now you have me rethinking the whole idea so lockers armor and gears huh sounds like a good idea and i am looking for ideas i am trying to learn so i appreciate it. And yes i dont really need the sas but it just looks so cool and looks like it performs so well. so tc what gearing do you suggest i get for 33 10.50 ... and one prob i dont know if i can fit 33 10.50 under right now


btw those are both sick trucks

yota87

We got what you need.

yota87

haha sweet that is cool... wab fab do you ship for cheap or should i just go to like 4wheel parts

tc

For 33's, 4.88 if you have manual transmission, 5.71 if you have an auto.

33x10.50 will fit.

Where are you at yota87?

yota87

you shure they will fit ??? my friend got like a 2 in lift and he still had to cut some plastic and mud guards and thanks it is manual

tc

He probably had 33x12.50 on aftermarket rims.

Stock backspacing and narrow tires are the key to fitting the tallest tire with the least lift.

yota87

what is back spacing? yea he did get the 12.50s haha i totally forgot ok cool and he did get after market rims but, so do i. i am running 15in with 31 x 10.50
