Solid Axle Swap Thread

[RickLzonai]

Havent seen one of these threads on this site yet or found one so figured id start it since I could use another set of eyes for mine which will be starting soon,

Post up them pictures !
tech info would be sweet too

ill start it off by posting my favorite sas'd truck my brothers (@daveyjoness) on instagram,
05 sierra, 5.13s, pacesetter LT headers, 79 ford kingpin front 14 bolt rear 17 inches of lift 40" ss m16 tires with 22x14 fuel hostages (pics are about 3 years old)





after this all leaf lift rode like a wheel wagon and so he never got or front shaft for this set up,
We did some modding to the ORD sas kit it had and lengthened and lowered the springs amount of lift so it had a better ride then got 38" Nittos with 24" Rbp 96r I think it was wheels

Never got shocks and all parts underneath sold and its in the process of becoming a full luxury prerunner with kibbetech/fox/deaver/king parts

our buddy Omar Medina is the one that bought everything and he has had a few sasd trucks


this white truck is the same truck as the blue one above, did a full swap and the bumper looks a lot better now just don't have pics,
this guy Omar does some crazy things on a budget, built not bought.


this burban has the wheels from the white sierra I first posted and they chopped it into a megacab chevy and an older escalade clip. they call it the cowboy Cadillac

You can see what they do on facebook, He is Karma Kustoms

As for me , just picked these up today, ones for my truck and ones for my girlfriend. shes on the hunt for an s10 so I can solid axle it for her

White one would be cooler if it actually had a front DS. That bothers me so much.

[Ginger]

[James Pate]

Cheapest way to go.

 

[Ginger]

if youre SASing dont cheap out then.

 

[James Pate]

I ain't lol

 

[HackMcMaster]

if youre SASing dont cheap out then.

imo if your going to do a SAS swap dont cheap out and do fgt leaf springs.... also shouldnt do 11" of lift on leaf springs imo

 

[GeoffSFAs10]

it had shocks. they were painted black. That truck was build solely for mud and trails in my area. Leafs is all you need.

 

[Tylers88]

I would do leafs if I ever swapped the 88, set of 52" bastard packs could ride and flex awesome with correct shocks

 

[HaydenB99]

Personally I like coil springs over leafs, but cheapest shit. I jusy say on a project like that may as well go all out.

sorry should have deleted half of that quote wasn't talking about your truck


im cheapin out and goin for fggt leafs

[Ginger]

do you really need the solid axle right now that you cant save for a few more months and do a coil kit?
