Started a "Future SAS" thread a month ago. Thanks to all that gave info. It was very useful.
I didn't do this myself and recently picked it up after all the work was completed.



I like the look and quality of the TG products used front and rear along with the Bilstein shocks. It looks awesome. It's really tall though.
Now I have a few questions for those who have done this.

How long does it take for the leaves to settle down? The front is too high compared to the rear.
How much settling is typically seen?
Will the front settle more than the rear?
What specifically can I do to help it along?
Thanks, Phil

What springs did you use front and back?

phildelfino

Whatever came in the TG kit, don't know brand.
I believe they used the 5" lift springs. Reasons given were V6 and extra weight of front bumper and winch.

Normal 5" or HD?

No need for either unless V8 swap. 4" in the front 5" in the rear is what you needed.

Thanks. I'll check into it further to get exact details.

Hey, my front IFS crossmember is bent. You have your old parts? Would be willing to buy some of your old stuff, if they're in good shape. Thanks!

I don't think the tg springs settle much at all. Mine might have settled 1/2" if that.

They'll settle up to about an inch.

Looking at the photos the rear shackle hangers should of been moved back more, and/or the front (hangars in the rear) werent moved far enough forward. The shackle being somehwere around 25-30 deg would lift the rear up more. An option you have now is to go to like a 6.5" vs the 5" rear shackles u have now to get it level.

phildelfino

Mine was bent and I had the axle, so I pulled the trigger.

OK, thanks. Maybe if I work them out real good they will settle.

phildelfino

Thank you. I'll keep it in mind when I go back.

Nah. It looks fine just as it sits. I hate the "nose dive" look most people go for. Bull doggin' all the way!
