My solid axle swap went through two phases of construction. The first utilized Trailmaster 4" coil springs and Rancho 9000 shocks. The setup was a 5 link, that is 4 links plus a panhard bar. The coil spring was allowed to fall way from it's upper mount and was kept in line by a piece of tubular steel which also served as a bump stop. The axle is a Dana 44 High Pinion design from a '79 Bronco. The axle was shortened for this application. I do not have the measurements. All of the fabrication work was done by FST in Phoenix Here are photos from Phase 1: Main drawback to this design was the noise and sloppiness that occured when the coil spring fell away from the top mount. Everyone I wheeled with had to get used to the...

So I started collecting parts for my sas kinda half heartedly knowing I wanted to do it and it just kinda happened one day. I meant to start this thread before I started with pictures of all the parts and the process of me doing it. but like I said I just kinda started and forgot. So we are dropping in about 75% threw doing it. So here is how it sits now. I would guess about a 6" lift is where we ended up. This is the beginingish I just got most of the ifs in the front cut out and the d30 sat close to where I wanted it I'm using soa porches from Barnes 4wd and out riggers and there shackle mounts so I got the thing as centered as I could. Here's a pick of the outrigger and leaf hanger tacked in. And that's pretty much all the pic I...

Here are some pics.

I started out with a 01 explorer sport with 230k miles and now i have a 2001 frame with axles out of a late 80 f350 2003 body with 90k on it with stock drivetrain (for now). My plan is to either build the drivetrain i have now (4.0 sohc with a 5rod) or go to an lq4 engine and then 4 link it front and rear with coil overs within the next year or two. I will try to list all the parts i used but i know i will miss some so if there are any questions please ask. The swap has been one for about 8 months and i have put about 15,000 miles on it without a hiccup. No sway bars, trac bars or even a steering stabilizer (plan on doing a stabilizer before winter). This is my winter vehicle (for now) so i have my car i daily and drive my exploder on...

Hey guys. Thought I would put this here so those of you who are doing SAS can use it if you need it. I am selling the steering setup on my SAS.

Ok so I know this ain't a Ranger or Sploder, but since Rangers had TTB too, I figure I might as well add this here :D http://gavin.d2g.com/sas/

Here is a link to some of my SAS pics and a description of what was used to build it. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/499475

KEEP IN MIND, EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS IS FROM MY BUILD ON ANOTHER SITE, SO ITS PRESENT TENSE WHEN I DID IT....BUT, IT SHOWS FULL BUILT MORE OR LESS. so, i decided to obliterate my truck in an attempt at making something better. so far so good, im happy to say. this is blackfoot(what i named my truck (no its not corny). so ive seen people chop the rear end off their rigs to make a pick-up style rear end. i really liked the idea, and decided to go forward with it on my own. i have no fabrication experience at all, im majoring in welding in an attempt to learn fabrication, but i guess i would learn best by doing it. so, after much contemplation, i decided to do this to my explorer. i had somewhat of a different idea though...

So I haven't officially made a thread on my lifted explorer build. It would have been easier to track from the beggining but I just didn't get around to posting. Iv had this 94 explorer since late 2013 when I picked it up for $700 bone stock. I used to have an 85 bronco 2 that I had chopped the top on and loved how well it wheeled and performed but it wasn't big enough and had tons of issues. So the explorer fit me much better. It's a 5 speed with when I got it 228,000 miles. Now it has around 236,000 miles. Has a light lifter knock when the oil is dirty but runs really darn good tho. I started with some TTB lift at a 3" and 33s. I had found a long arm kit in the junkyard on a bronco 2 and used that lift first. I ended up getting some...

well...I've got a seepin brakeline...and need to mount tabs to secure the brakelines at the shocks...and to add friction modifyer to the rear axle...and fix the one middle pillar on the exo cage...buy the tierod ends and get the steering in.. BUT...I got it out..and flex tested it....unbeleivable..I need a bigger rock in the yard...when Im flexin the rear..the driver front it totaly compressed...but the pass side is about 1in from max.. when Im flexing the front the rear has about 2in before the pass side is at full compression..and the driver side is about 2in from max droop.. but its close enough to done for me!!
