help buying used sas

I'm looking into buying a truck that already has an sas conversion done on it. Could someone give me some guidelines on what to look for, problem areas, etc.?

Not enough information.

Make? Model? Equipment? Installer? Etc. Pictures would be helpful.

Shackle angle. axle used in the swap. do you want to drive it on road? what was done to the drive shafts(lenghtened, or square tubing) what kind of springs were used. what kind of steering does it have(full hydro, hydro assist, factory power steering, factory p/s with aftermarket cross over steering, or push pull) when was the front axle rebuilt. what SAS kit was used to do the swap. take pictures and post them here.

Allright I guess I need to be more specific. I don't have a certain truck picked out. There are currently 3 for sale here locally. 90-94 extra cab v6 5sp. I'm planning to go look at them each of them. I will be driving it on the road, not alot and not daily. I guess what I wanted to know is what questions should I be asking and what are the correct answers. And as far as a physical inspection, what to look for, other than solid welds. I'm new here and I've been reading, trying to do my home work on this, but there's alot of info to go through and not alot of time on my hands. I appreciate your help.

alright warlock this is some good info but dont forget to listen to the motor and run it in 4wd for a while and test drive the out of it (and i dont mean offroading it unless the owner is cool with it), look for leaks also, is everything straight? check the frame too. . .
