I forget how much I paid, I want to say about $300.

Garys Driveline in Daytona did mine.

 

SERIOUSLY THO???

 

Does anyone know of anyone that can do the the job and ship the new driveshaft I can't find anyone in this area that does it.

 

Call your local 4 wheel drive truck shop and ask them who they take their work too. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone locally that can do the job for you.

 

actually it makes no sense at all, if i was going offroading all the time time then yeah it would be a great investment, but if its a street truck then whats the point? with bolt ons you can take it all off and return the truck to stock if you were to sell it... and with sas that would be $10,000 down the drain cause not too many people would pay that much for a biga$$ SAS truck

 

My sentiments exactly

 

What is SAS? Tried searching but nothing came up. Thanks.

 

Solid Axle Swap

agreed.

If you don't have the know-how or fab skills, I can understand. But an SAS would be so much cheaper (NOWHERE near 10,000) and durable!!! If you're going to use this truck (4x4 right? just even using it to go through a wet pasture or up a steep ravine on the farm) You're going to have lots of stress on the front end. You're bound to break.

You're telling me 40" meats aren't going to put a good amount of stress on an IFS, even on the street? I'm sure it will look awesome but, good luck with that.

 

40" tires on an 8.8 in general just screams breakage to me.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, tommorrow will be the day the suspension goes on I'll take as many pictures as I can. As you all know the front is a Rize 12" and the rear will be composed of 4" Skyjacker springs and a 5" tuff country blocks plus the 2 1/2" that the truck already sits on for a total of 11 1/2" ....Ok guys let me have it.

Anyways, I've been reading most of you guys opinion about IFS vs SA and got to thinking about how the IFS work and was wondering how much actual stress is put on the axle itself since the actual tires aren't directly linked to the axle. there linked by the CV shaft, am I correct. so if something were to actually break wouldn't it be the CV shaft first rather than the axle itself, correct me if I'm wrong. Now I don't mean to start any fights here and I know there are probably more knowledgeable people out there than me. I'm just wondering.:santa:

 

i guess i just need to see evidence with my own eyes to believe that all of this stuff will break due to "stress". i mean when these trucks first came out everyone said 37's are too big and then 38's and 39's were too big and now people say 40's are too big. do you have proof or have pictures where people have actually had something break or snap due to a 12" lift or 40's? im just wondering myself because its always a " well i know a guy that knew a guy that had a problem".
