Truck looks great btw

You should put a D60 under it

Dude if i was confident if i could pull off a SAS swap i'd do it on both trucks...

 

[Eskimomann209]

It's honestly pretty easy

Plenty of write ups and the kits are pretty much bolt on
Then turn around and weld after you drive around for a few weeks and like the angles
Springs sag so I waited

 

[Eskimomann209]

If you got them motor swaps down
You can do a SAS

Actually he would have to cut part of the frame to do a sas on this truck at least...

 

[Darkrider]

Correction he would need to cut and modify the front parts of the frames on both of his truck...it can be done but not really practical in this case...


Scroll to the bottom of this page to see the differences in frames.

For ords kit that would be needed yes
Not for one of your own
The frame slanting up a little bit doesn't change too much
I am curious as to why that's even there
I have read it before

My truck was a 2wd as well I can post pictures on the crossmember being removed

 

[Eskimomann209]

I am wondering why a shimmed kit hasn't been made for the 2500 and 3500 2wd frames as well

 

[Eskimomann209]

I would assume that it would just push the rear shackle a little more forward and from my experience with the 52 in leaf springs it's close as it is so the angle pushing that forward a little more isn't so much of a bad thing
Just my .02 cents

I'd love other thoughts on that
