    I know you already posted it as a no go on s0acers but if you get desperate you could try this place out. I am running them on the rear, they convert the 8x6.5 to 8x170mm. They also got 14 bolt width matching the front since they're 2". They are beef, cut from bearing steel, not shitty aluminum. Been running them for 3 years with no issues.

    Yeah, I am getting my 14 bolt this week. I saw that there is a few inch width difference. If that is the case then a spacer isn’t a huge deal if it’s strong. Thanks for the advice man! I’ll check out what you’re using.

    You sent me down the Google rabbit hole and the internet's outside of TW has said to look for a sterling 10". Same strength as a 14bolt with the bolt pattern you are looking for.

    Or I would get a template from a vendor and drill that shit.

    the sterling comes on the f250 behind the axle I have for the front if that is what you are referring to. I decided not to go w that rear end cause the 14 bolt can be shaved down a few inches and it’s easier to regear

    Hey no problem, let us know how it goes! @SMKYTXN is using them as well, at least he was when he did his SAS, that's how I found out about them.

    I have wheeladapter spacers front and rear on my crawler. No issues whatsoever. I also have a set from them to space the duals on the tow pig.

    Ive been looking around for the past 2 days and can't seem to find any definitive info on what the ideal chevy 63 spring to use for an SAS 40" tire setup. About to get my springs from a local spring co after going to 5 junk yards to find nothing but garbage this week. Im planning on getting an 88-98 3/1 pack. Is this the best option or a 99+ 2/1 or 4/1????

    I’ve had my 63s for a few year on 35s. Got them from a 94’ 3/4.

    Depends on how much sprung weight you will have really. I have a 3/1 pack out of a 94 1/2 ton. Before my SAS I only used the 3 leaves and it was plenty, but when I did my flat bed and went to 40 I needed a lift so I put the OL leaf back in.
