what do i need?

[astewart1995]

im starting a parts list for a SAS.
i want to run 38's.
i have a 95 GMC k1500 with a 3" body that will stay on the truck.

the axle im using is out of a 91 blazer.
the axle comes with a 205 trans case.

what is the best SAS kit i could buy? and what is the cheapest kit i could buy?
what leaf springs do i need?
were can i buy the leafs?
how much extra lift will i need for 38's?

my truck does have frame damage from the previous owner getting pulled out of ruts. the damage is to the front of the frame.
Will i even be able to do the swap with this damage?

just looking at those pics, you're are going to have to get the front of the frame straightened.any bracket kit you try to mount,won't sit right.

Ask around body shops n automotive shops and see if the have a frame mechine. garrentee someone has it or can point you in the rite direction who does.

any idea how much it would cost?

There is not really a good estimate i can give you. Also depends on how bad the frame is and how much heatin and beatin it needs. all shops have their own prices. the cost of getting it set up on the machine and then the additional per hour cost. There could also be more dammage then what the eyes see and depending on how the dammage happened like a collision then the impack could have unaligned you body mounts and panels. so once the frame is fixed the cab and bed could be all off. Its not cheap

No dont give up on her that easy! Ask around see what the shops say it might no be that bad. if you dont mind me asking what happened to mess up the frame?
