why would you SAS a 2wd truck??? Without a Tcase sending power to a Dana 44 or something its literally pointless. Sell your truck and get a 4x4 and SAS that. I've never understood the concept of a lifted 2wd????

you do realize the custom modifications that would have to be made for it to work correct? And the price tag thT comes with it? These arnt Toyotas to add a tcase some serious chassis modifications would have to be made., he could sell his truck and buy a 4x4 and be better off then a 8k SAS 2wd. I'm assuming he wouldn't be using junkyard axles and doing it right, easily 15-20 hours of work, and unless your extremely good with this kind of thing like [MENTION=22058]A7X[/MENTION] you could seriously f**k something up and kill someone on the road.

I think if you check his build thread he says it's in the middle of being swapped to a 4x4.. Didn't make any sense to me either, I mean I understand ops situation, but that's different that SAS ing a 2wd...

I'll have to see it to believe it.. Frames are completely different the way the driveshaft and the tcase are you'd run straight into the cross-members, your talking frame off job. Not just a few c notches in the frame. Hence my skepticism.

correct the only way to 4x swap these trucks is SAS. On top of the crossmember problems, the coil spring ifs system will not clear CVs on these trucks

Idk why everyone with a 2wd wants more clearance. (Yes I used to be one of those guys, but I really did use my truck offroad very often, and Lift/locker/gears/35s on my 2wd was significantly cheaper than buying a 4wd) But, If I would do it all over again I think I'd put my money more into the performance side of suspension a la pseudo "prerunner" with a locker and A/Ts and just hit stuff with more speed. I feel like if you wanted to do some off-roading with your 2wd, i feel like it would yield more performance off the road. A different approach but who knows. But, I think most people do it cause of the macho aspect a 4x4 gives off.
