considering an SAS
So... I have been considering performing a solid axle swap to my '93. My question is... is it worth the effort involved to perform the swap?
From what I have heard, the solid axle setup has articulation advantages over IFS. What are the performance advantages/disadvantages?
Also, what if any aftermarket add-ons can help further improve articulation and other offroad performance characteristics?

it definately worth doing the benefits tires stay on the ground when wheeling off camber you get more suspension articulation and you tend not to break as much stuff as if it were still ifs. plus you can run big tires with a minimal lift with a solid axle convertion. I am sure there is more info
