Looking at pics makes me wanna do the SAS to my truck still but i just cant seem to wanna do this to my first truck and would rather do it to a Super Duty and have to deal with less stuff and its not hard at all to find parts

 

well the point to sas an f 150 is the originality of it not many ppl have it and the few that do are proud of it....not everyone has a giant 150...but there are plenty of superduty's that are sky high- ya there bad as hell thats cuz there bigger in general motor body suspension interior...if i knew what my insurance on my truck would be once i got my license back i prolly would have had my truck at a shop by now cuz i cant drive it lol but i have a feeling my insurance for the year will be just over 7,000...and ill be sure to be glad to sell my truck if thats the case lol....


cecil do you see any possiitliy of you making it saturday

 

Thats the only reason i wanna do it too my truck now and who knows it may still happen and i just buy a super duty and lift it 8inch and call it that who knows.. But for now im just adding small stuff too my truck to make it look better and when i get back to the states ill decide then

 

yea i hear ya lol

 

trimble my springs were 550 shipped also but this was 5 years ago. i guess they've held there value. as far as the drive shaft goes i put my stocker back in and ran it. yeah it stuck out around 1.75 inches and isnt that good for the tailshaft but with me hammering on it alot i never broke it. (actually tried to) never could so i didnt extend it. new i was gonna change the motor and tranny. i did however have to lenghten the front like 2.5" for it to fit but 220 seems hight to me too. when i looked around 150 was a good going price i found. so i did the front myself figured since i never put it in 4wd till i got in the mud it. it didnt really need to be balanced. i know this all sounds really readneck and cheap but thats what happens when your 18 haha ive gotten a lil smarter now

 

nope definitely NOT gonna make it.

yeah the springs were EXACTLY correct came in today.

i took a few pictures but cant get them off my camera right now but i will post a few teasers

 

heres some teasers. They dont show much at all done since its taken apart right now to add a track bar

me and my daughter

The little one sittin on a tire... i think i got some room


new rear leaf springs from Competition Leaf Spring

 

wow that thing is big, looking good cant wait to see it finished

 

HOLY rear bumper batman!!! its lookin good. your gonna have plenty of room for any size tire you want. cool

 

Thanks man, its so close!

The bumper was bent to hell so i told them not to worry about avoiding it.

Ill be replacin both with road armor bumpers well look alikes

 

the new springs look good. nice pics of the truck w/ y'all as well.

 

thanks bud. and Fedex was definitely lying about the weight theres no way the springs only weighted 48 Pounds each. More like 80 each

 

still, I am shocked that they are that light. mine were 85lbs apiece for 6'' of lift. like i said, i guess that being mine were set up for payload/towing made a big difference in weight.

how much lift were yours for, again?

 

they were for 12" of lift from the ground to the first leaf is 13" and they told me to expect a 1" sag, but with the light bed i doubt they will sag at all

 

The truck is gonna look awesome. just curious. How tall are you??
