click on this link for all my specs/pics: http://www.geocities.com/jsnbyh/sas



AJ from Bentup.com did all the cutting/welding. He's frickin' awesome. A great guy.

Some quick specs...
Trail-Gear 5" springs f/r
35x12.5r15 BFG MT on 15x8" rims
5.29 gears
Detroit rear
Detroit EZ locker front

still need a front drive shaft.

I'm getting a new tie rod...i don't like weld on inserts. I'm running chevy 1-ton tie rod ends. Once i get that from partsmike, i'll be able to put on the steering stablizer from TG.

We started yesterday, april 29, 2006, at 6:30 am. We got everything but the rear shocks done by 1am last night. We finished it up this morning, april 30, 2006.

I love it. Best thing i ever did to my truck.

After all that, i can finally put this sticker on:

 

Very nice looking rig, I like it a lot.

The stickers cracks me up too!

 

Looks great!! I am in the process of my sas. At least getting the parts together.

 

<hijack>
not that im going to be doing this at any time soon but how mechanically involved in a SAS? i can take a good guess but what all goes into it?
</hijack>

 

there's not much mechanically involved....just rebuild the axle.....it's more the of the cutting and welding that takes the time/skill. search....there's lots of info out there.

 

ah yeah, its the welding part i have no clue how to do...

 

looks good dude.

 

if you dont mind me asking, how much did it set you back? i want a SAS so bad. just dont have the place or the welding skills to do it.

 

after it was all said and done, it was near $4k. That's all the parts, tires, labor, gears, lockers, everything.
