I have seen people use the GM 1 ton tre's and others use the Heims. What are peoples experiences with either set up? Is there advantages either way? I am looking at what set up to run on my soon to be SAS swap.

x2 - There is a wide range of quality in heims and the low quality ones' ball will become loose over time.... heat treated heims.
I am going with the GM TRE's.
Two reasons. Mainly the state inspections wont pass Heims here, and the wet terrain is abundant. There is an offset (P shaped) GM 1 ton TRE if you need the clearance.
On a solid axle, try to stay away from the Y setup because its really meant for a TTB since the pivot points don't match and the "toe" configuration will change as the suspension cycles.Also with GM tre's I would have to run a Y link for the steering as well.

Drilling them out, and using these
I think that's mislabeled - that's a "T". A "Y" has one link from the pitman arm to the knuckle where as a "T" has a link from the pitman arm to the draglink (the draglink that connects both knuckles).
YepThe T set up with the tres should be good for a solid axle correct?
If it works, I am very interested in using it myself.
It works, attached is a picture of the steering links I built for JTX a few years back on his 1st gen SAS using this style.
Now if you are using leaf springs for your SAS this is not the ideal setup since the drag link could make contact with the spring.
Order that kit from Ruffstuff before Jan 1st and you can get it for 15% off using code FESTIVUS
Are you going to be using this?
For the price of it, (if it works), I cant see going wrong with it. If it works, I am very interested in using it myself.
