    Fabtech 6inch Drop Bracket, also have in the coil spacers for 2 additional inches. Would need new tie rod ends from Fabtech. Rear is an Add-a-leaf and I re-used the block so a bock would have to be purchased. Shocks are toast too. But I was thinking $1000 firm for everything because at that price, you could buy brand new alcans for the rear and still be under the cost for a new kit.

    The kit will be posted for sale if the pending sale falls through


    The truck is awaiting its final part, Drag-link parts. I made ONE mistake. LOL and I am very fortunate to have a boss that allows me to use our shop

    The swap itself is right at $2000, but I did extras like brand new leafs and crap like that, I would think you could get away with a budget build for $2000-$2500 depending on how patient you can be for the right deals. I barter a lot, it helps.

    It hasn't yet hit the road, but you may have seen it pre-SAS. It was pretty stout even before.

    Thanks, took tons of patience, but the end result is a good one.

    I have no words... that made my day!

    It's on the road, fully functional, it will probably need little tweaks here and there. And I did all the work except setting the gears so it was relatively inexpensive

    Here's how I ran mine when I did my SAS...I believe the OP did his similar. He used the same joints as me for sure.

    The hanger is 100% built from scratch by yours truly

    I'd like to, I'm just not sure my center of gravity is trail friendly


    NwiTACO is correct, I Used the same joints as my inspiration, the only difference is that my steering box is not quite as far forward on the frame. He was extremely helpful with all of my questions

    Question for you. With us living in va and you doing a sas how did you get around the front abs light? I was told that if your abs light is on your rig will not pass state inspection. Thanks.
