expected travel after leaf sprung 1st Gen SAS

My control arm bushings are shot and its gonna cost the same to fix them as it will to SAS (I already have the axle, histeer, shock hoops ect...)


I was talking to Steve at sonoran steel and he was telling me that he would weld up my spring hangers for 300 bucks so I could drive home and finish the swap in my driveway. I was asking about expected travel from the trailgear springs (which are the only springs he will guarentee will fit) and was saying that nobody gets more than 12" total travel after the swap is finished.

Does that sound about right? I thought 12" seemed a bit shy, I was hoping to max out my 14" bilsteins after the swap. I was also planning on as little lift as possible just enough to cycle 35s I'm hoping I can get away with 3" but no more than 4" springs
