We made a bunch of progress on the SAS swap. Got the old IFS cut out and about to install the new brackets. Will add more photos as we get closer.

We used a cut off wheel for the pass side and after using about 15 wheels on it I went and bought a plasma cutter from Harbor Freight for $400 and it cut the time in half! Really worked surprisingly well. Next we will be bolting the brackets on and mounting the springs. Had to remove 2 of the bolts on the steering box to move enough to get a puller on it for the pitman arm. Other than that it has been fairly easy but a HELL of a lot of grinding!

This is awesome. Are there any locating/positioning holes or just lots of measurements for the new brackets?

The kit I am using is from Off Road Design. If you are using the stock leaf springs from 73-87 it works with your existing bolt holes for the brackets. You will have to drill a few holes with a 1/2" drill bit but other than that it is a bolt in set up. Very well built and heavy duty! Those guys at ORD are awesome!

Looking good! Actually had nice weather and was out working on mine. Swapping the 44 out for a 60, and the 44 will be going in the Yukon. Gonna be getting a complete SAS hopefully soon for my black 99. Getting tired of looking at em and not able to work on em. Gonna have to check out the plasma from HF...

Very Nice! Hoping to get mine back together this coming week. Will keep posting pics as progress is made. Good luck on your conversion!
