Skee needs some help with an SAS...

Simple looks best on our trucks. I just have steel 17s. And get a good all around mudder like Mickey Thompson's or Coopers

and the bars to the front as well (not sure what they're called... They go from the middle of the truck to the back of the LCA)

I believe the bars you are refering to are called kicker bars or something like that.

Torsion bars go into the lca's

Kicker bars go into a mount on the rear lca bracket in the middle of it..

Edit: I just saw the picture pointing out which bar. Those are the torsion bars.. the shorter ones you see behind those are the kicker bars/braces.

Yup. It's like a friggin jungle gym under my truck right now. You better believe when I go through a field, I mow a path through.

But back to the DOM. What diameter will I need? And where is the best place to get it? On Ballistic I believe I can get it already tapped for the heims and joints.

Measure the diameter of a stock 80s panhard and stuff and that should give you a rough estimate. I dont know dpn enough to give you a straight answer.

you really need to get everything else under it first then you will have measurements available to order what you need, at this point it would be a rough guess and could be way off.

ballistic, thurenfab(don thuren), danny gaston at dodgeoffroad(built a nice sas for his brothers gmt400 http://www.djgaston.com/clint/ ), shakerbuilt or bulletproof steering should all be able to make what you need

80's never had a panhard/track bar

Thanks. I was just trying to find out how much it would cost to get a length of it and cut it myself. I just didnt know what diameter and schedule of DOM I should get, or what everyone else was using.

Cheaper to buy one already setup

 

[Swims350]

is it really? I wondered myself about how much and where is the cheapest to get some dom, and then tube nuts or whatever to run either TRE's or heims in those same tube nuts, and how cheap that'd be compared to buying the kits they sell which are like $125 or so.

I tell ya I'm a newb and I get lost, but I'm glad there are several of you guys on here with SAS already done or have done it yourself and are willing to help newb's and answer questions.
