    Suspension questions newb aussie

    That’s a flip kit. Springs are supposed to go on top of the axle. As far as the front it’s probably either drop springs or drop spindles.

    Transmission crossmember for SAS project

    I’ll be putting it in today. I am am running an 80’s np208 with th400 trans. And pretty much based the design on the 80-87 Chevy W style crossmember that allowed the transfer case to hang down below the frame.

    10 bolt to 12 bolt swap

    I made a 12 bolt fit in the gmt400 series trucks. I’ll take some pics later tonight, but the spring perch mounts were about 1.5” to 2” narrower than our trucks. You’ll have to cut off the spring perch and weld new perches or make an offset plate that centers on the old perch and saddles the...

    Driveshaft questions.

    Driveshaft questions.

    Ok so I just swapped in a 14bolt sf in my 93 Chevy SAS and I am ready to go look for a drive shaft. I found all the info listed on tomwoods driveshafts, but I’d rather find one from a junkyard. How do you determine the drive shaft length required based on the measurement from the transfer case...

    14b sf 6 lug wheel size.

    im getting ready to buy a new rear end for my project and had a couple questions. I know the 14 bolt is stronger, and that the 10 bolt doesn’t do good against 35” tires but what size wheel can I run on a 6 lug 14 sf rear end? I’m currently have 15x10’s with 33x 12.5r15 and will be going to a...

    Tahoe (minimal) rear wheel spacers

    You only need 1.5x diameter engagement in the lug nut. The studs are 14mm (.551) x 1.5= 0.8265 wilhich is just above 13/16” I was able to run 5/16” spacers on my truck without any problems with engagement. If you have short studs, and won’t have at least 13/16 engagement, then yes you’ll need...

    Tahoe (minimal) rear wheel spacers

    All you would need is 1/4” spacers per side. When only using a 1/4” spacer you don’t lose enough engagement in the lug nut to worry about longer studs.
