Question thoughts on SAS companies

Anyone have experience with this company. I'd like to get a complete kit so as not to chase parts around.

I can't find the thread doing a search, but theres a good one debating why one kit is better than the other and blah blah blah.

bottom line, they're all about the same, its basically personal preference on who you'd like to give the money too.

edit: found it
double edit: posted wrong link, searching again

correct link: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ght=trail+gear

I used stuff from Trail Gear and Marlin when I did my SAS. I started piecing it togther before Trail Gear ever existed, but then when I was ready to buy the last few parts they had the best prices.

Many of the fabricated steel parts that Trail Gear and Marlin sell are made by the same manufacturing company.

I know they've had that kit out for a while now, didn't realize that its that reasonably priced.
edit: i scrolled down and just saw the slightly LARGER price tag.

As far as most of people who are doing SAS's and getting springs and not coils, yes, its a matter of who you want to pay.

If your wanting to go coils, then ORS is I believe the only one with the kit??

I used allpro on mine about 4 years ago it was a great kit but I've never heard any bad things about trailgear they seem to be the most popular these days. I didn't like the pinion angle on mine when we were done and you can't use shims.
