Sas 98 'hoe

[roy72004]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but definitely not new to the Tahoe. We've owned the 98 for about 5 years. About a year ago I decided to sas it. I used the kit from gatsby trucks and used axles from a 78 f250 (Dana 44 front with disc and Dana 60 rear with drum) and an eBay crossover steering kit. I used rear leaves out of a late 90 burb with an add a leaf and a shackle reversal, up front I used mid 80 1/2 ton springs. Shocks are bilstein 5125's, stock sway bar in rear and none up front. I used a np 241c t case. It ended up being about 9"of lift (compared to a stock one at a used car lot). It's been a hell of a ride. The trickiest part for me has been to get the steering stability on par. I've got it pretty close but it's still a bit finicky. It's got 35-12.5/18 on it. It's still got a ways to go to be finished, but the majority is completed. I'll have more pics on the way. Thanks for looking and appreciate all comments and/or questions/criticism...

What are your caster and camber like?

Had the shop align it and they didn't say anything was out of spec. I call b.s. I had to drop the front of the leaf springs to give me some more caster, and that helped a ton. Toe in is about 3/32". Tracks great and turns back to center good. Just wanders on road imperfections. And not necessarily bumps, but more even surfaces it seems.

Mine is 4° positive caster both sides.
5/8° positive camber driver side
1/4° positive camber passenger side .
runs ok on street but kinda wanders a bit.

I have no clue to degrees... I meant caster also. Lol I edited it. I have no clue as to camber... The caster change definitely helps. I have brand new steering box and all steering components are brand new. The wander is definitely I the steering setup. Do you have dual stabilizers? I only have a single and wonder if a dual setup will help.
