SAS K2500 99 Suburban

Well I have had the parts from Off Road Design for about a year to do a High Pinion Dana 60 swap but just hadn't found the time to start the project......until now. My "key lift" stock suspension gave up the ghost on me today and now I am getting started. Murphys Law. So I figured I will post pics of it as I go and log this here.

That's not good, hopefully no major damage. I look forward to seeing the upgrade going together.

No just an axle shaft and an upper ball joint. I figure if I am tearing into it I better do it right. Had hell dragging it back into the driveway with the drivers front wheel off. Fortunately the old Massey Ferguson 231 did its job. Barely! Sum bich is damn heavy!

Always like seeing an SAS. I have one that is already done, needs lil stuff, then my other 2 will be SAS'd hoping this summer. I have most the parts to do the Yukon, then next Saturday buying most if not all the parts the parts to do the other truck. Just need time!!!!

Yeah I get that part. Never enough time. I also have a 93 K2500 long bed Silverado that I pulled the seized 6.5 and will probably cummins swap that one with a 5 speed.

Fortunately I was not going very fast. Managed somehow for it to hold together to get back 1/2 mile to the house and then it fell apart at home. I was lucky!

No update or progress yet. Wife's Toyota broke so it jumped in front. Sigh. Oh and a bad case of food poisoning from Dominos. Figures.

I ran wrecker for years. Failed ball joints were always in the parking lot for some reason
