the reason for a cut and turn is to help with driveshaft angles. some people do it on the fj40's w/ spring overs and some dont. it might not be needed for a truck but the 40 driveshafts are so short alot of people do it to help out w/ binding and what not. i know nothing about doing a SAS on a truck i was just curious
ok i see what you are saying... and we probably wont be doing that.
If needed we will run a CV style front D-shaft to help with angle. And if the angle is THAT bad we might rotate the T-case from its usual sideways mount to straight up and down. This will help with angles as well.
Joe did this on the lasat 150 he SAS'd but doesnt think ill need to unless i got EXTREMELY big.
We also decided to cut ANYTHING out that is not needed, front crossmember will be cut out and redesigned.

for the pinion angle your most likely going to need a CV style DS, and you probably will need to clock the transfer case along with cutting off the inner C's and moving them for pinion angle. its not that big of a deal to do especially if a shop is doing it, they should have no problems doing it. but if the axles were out of somthing that was pevously big, you should need to because it was probably done already.

Exactly, the axles were previously on a Regular cab Dodge 1500 with about 18" of suspension lift. I know between my truck and his theres differences but the drivetrain is still very close in length.

Hey Trim hope all is going well man i miss these forums soo much but havent had much time to get on at all.Doing alot of missions and such. I want too see this build badly too so if you can do me a favor just keep me updated on whats going on? Could you send me pics and things to my email at mhockey9090@aol.com. I cant wait too see this bc like we explained everything how im doing the same **** with my truck. But now ill prob be running 49s and enough room for 52s later down the road. So hopefully the truck will be going into the shop before i get home from iraq.

Well i should have plenty of room for 54's but i want the top of the tire to go about an inch into the wheel well. The 40's wont be like this they will probably look pretty small. I really dont wanna run Iroks so the 49's are out, I might run a 44x19.5x16.5 PitBull Rocker, then jump to a 47" LTB or 54" Bogger. But ive go to get alittle more power before i go that big. And ill email as much as i can. The 52" Michelins are HEAVY as *******. Joe is running them on his 350 on 2.5T's and he told me the weight but i cant remeber the actual number. But they will out last the truck.

i wont run those, i really dont want to run 20's and id rather not run a tire that heavy, they arent as great for offroad they do ok but id rather run a 54" Bogger on a 17" wheel.
