I just completed my SAS in one weekend from start to finish. If any one has any questions, I will be more than happy to do my best to answer them.

Excellent question, and information I would like to have also. I would rather setup the pinion angle with "temporary spacers" instead of the actual coils, for safety reason. If I knew a ballpark height of the coils, while compressed, it would help a lot.Originally posted by Hotweels
I have a question if you dont mind
Think you could measure the height of the coil's i need to figure out how tall they are with the vehicles weight on em..... i am doing the same thing with a set of 78 bronco bucket's and wanna figure out if i will need to remove the coil's to get the truck outta the garage
have a look thru the whole SFA forum there are quite a few people who have just cut down the factory crossmember and welded some 1/4" plate on the ends to bolt to the radius arm bracket's, for to clear 36"-37" you will need 8" of lift or more i think.the cross member that you are talking about. what did you make it out of. is the trasfer case in the way at all. i have been looking at the pics you posted and they do not show how it was done. Can you briefly talk about what you did. the shop i am talking to wants to charge me to much money for them to do it. i am not shure what springs i want to use, somthing to give me the lift to run 36 or 37s. thanks
