SAS Part 2 the rebuild

[01STrunner]

Well now that this is back alive....

I have the same problem with leaf springs as Chad considering I have the same axle and setup. [MENTION=4189]RockRanger[/MENTION], do you have any close up pics of your coil mounts on the short side up front? I looked at your build thread but couldn't really tell how it was welded to the cast housing and the tube. Thanks

I can get some but it won't be for a month. It has been like 8 years sense I did the swap. Off the top of my head though I put a flat plate over the spring perch and then next to the housing on the axle tube is where I welded the outer tab for the lower link. The inner I welded to the cast housing and if i remember right I notched it around a gusset for the center section. I will see if I have any pictures on my computer.

Appreciate it a bunch.

Best I have on the computer. I will try to get a better shot when I get back to my truck next time.

Oh nice that's definitely a good use of space and you get a trussed axle in the process. Thanks again! I'm probably a couple years out from actually converting to coils and who knows maybe by that time I'll find some FW 60s to throw under it for some more stability.
