I see everyone posting about how there gonna go sas referring to lift. What in the world does that mean? Lol

 

Solid axle swap

 

SAS refers to solid axle swap. Which means removing the front ifs components and putting a solid axle in its place whether a dana 60 or 44, leaf spring or coil mounted.

 

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Expensive to do..?

 

It can be, depending on what to go with and if you can't do the fab yourself

 

I can tell you mine will be in the range of about $3500 when I'm done. Thats without tires and wheels.

 

Good lord man. Is it that good?

 

Most go with Leaf spring front and rear. Its cheaper and easier. I'm not doing it for mud, but for the amount of ground clearance and flexibility off road. I'm going 4 link with coils. So not only do I have to make the bars but I have to make mounts. I have to make sure the geometry so I dont have a shaking time bomb on the interstate.

 

Ive been spoiled by my jeep buddies, 4-link FTW!! haha its more expensive and you got to get a lot of angles perfect or it would all fail.

3500 sounds like a good price for maximum, I was looking around at some junk yard D60s for 500 with everything on em...even drums, need to be swapped to disk brakes, possible regear for your application and a locker (going all the way why not put in a locker?), cut em down..unless you want to run a full width axle, it had leafs but they looked warn, so new ones are 3-500. shocks- up to 200, wheels, tires..it starts to add up quick, then add the fab work unless you can do it then its all FREE!

 

My time is worth something. I have $1000 in axles already. I decided against doing all the math for the damn geometry. I just bought a used set of Fabtech 8" Coils and Radius arms. So I'm going that route as it will be a little cheaper and a lot easier. I will be using a 2" coil spacer from the get go to begin with.
