SAS Question

i see these kits for doing the sas which are intended for the toyota front axles but has anyone tried using this kit with any other axles such as chevy 1/2 3/4 or 1 tons? does the width work out ok or do you have to set the springs a little farther apart?

Using the kit for a non Toyota axle defeats the purpose.

Too many things would not work such as the knuckle rebuild, the steering arms, diff armor, etc

Im in Tuscaloosa.

Sky has a kit for using other axles, as was previously stated.

Wabbit also has a good point.

The Sky kit, i believe, is just the hanger and the offset shackle.

yeah i just checked out the sky kit and all it is is an offset to accomodate the full widths, which is what i want. wabbit do you have a full width kit?

and a side note, wabbit, are you familiar with grey rock orv in mt olive?

If you're gonna do anything other than toyota axles, it doesn't make much sense to put anything 1/2 ton under there - they're weaker than the Toyota axles.

To do it right, when you go full width, you need full floating strong 3/4 ton or 1 ton axles IMHO. So you're looking at D60, 14 bolt FF, or custom (like diamond axle)
