for those of you that followed my engine swap tread back in november, im starting a new project: SAS!!!!

well, i dropped the ball on a pair of axles, their not one ton's, but they'll do fine for me... D44 front and 8.8 rear... they both already have 4.56's in them, new brakes front and rear, heim'd drag link and tie rod. the 8.8 im just buying because its easier to swap the axle than it is to swap the gears. the D44 well you can guess that one haha. anywho, there was no shavings in the crevices in the pumpkins, and seem pretty clean... just having the 4.56's is worth it to me cus ive been quoted 600 per axle to have the gear swap done

first thing im doing is swapping the 8.8 to gain lost power, but for the front i havent decided on how i want to set it up yet, i'd like to go 4-link coil-over but i dont know if i could afford it for a few more months... main cost is just the shocks... all the tube and metal i get at cost...

 

SWEET!! Looks like its gonna be a great project

 

you also in st. pete? where abouts ya at?

 

awesome!! your trucks a 2wd right?

 

ill deff be following ... im looking to do a SAS as well i bought a dana 60 from a 82' f250 tonight for $50 now i just gotta find a front axle

 

yup!

 

sweet! i dont know when ill be able to start on the front... im only working with 350 bucks a month to spend on the truck till my hours pick back up at work... im really leaning towards 4-link though, just something not many ppl have in our body style trucks. everyone is using rad arms or leafs. my D44 has enough tube where i can weld some link brackets up...

 

Work on 34th N and live out on the beach.

Hope to step up the tire size on mine one day.

 

ok, i live back in shore acres, work at The Harborage Marina in S. St. Pete... pics in your gallery are tierra verde? havent been over there in a while... well at least by land lol

i got about 7K left on my 35's, im upping to 37's when they wear down

 

I love your truck, Probably because it's everything I wish my 93 was but never will be. Good luck on the SAS, can't wait to see it when it's done.

 

Cool. This is a fairly easy process to convert, isn't it? Well at least easier then that of the 97-03's. I wish I could do a SAS on my truck.

Anyway, good luck. I'll be checking in.

 

im hoping to keep the coil sprung front ... but id really like to go to a d60 front

 

if i go radius arm its basically bolt on, but im leaning towards 4-link and coil over shocks, more fabrication-involved. and whats more awesome than a home-brewed on a minimum wage 4-link truck? lol

 

4 link would be flippin awesome ... lil out of my know-how though lol so im stick with radius arms now ....... i just have alot to do by the second week and july

 

picked up my axles last night, ill have pics up in a lil bit...
