    Straight axle my front end

    To be honest, I wouldnt do an sas for 33's and weekend wheeling... I had 35's on an ext cab 99 z71 and it did just fine... You could do a body lift and fit the 33's... But to answer your question: There are lots of ways you can go.... cheapest way is a dana44 front and keep your rear axle... A...

    Straight axle my front end

    There are kits for whatever vehicle you have really... You just need to make some decisions first... What size tires are u gona run and how hard are you gone beat on it would probably determine what axle you need up fron... Also, do you wana go leaf or coil... driver or passenger drop.... I...

    4" superlift with 3/4 ton rear leaf springs?

    Something like this is an overload spring that wont lift your truck but will help when you load the rear with weight... so maybe replace your tired rear springs with new OEM and add this.... wont be a "lift", keep a good ride, ad help with the extra weight... extended bumpstops, and new...

    4" superlift with 3/4 ton rear leaf springs?

    Same guy, lol.... You shouldnt need any type of stabilizer... several ways you can go after your problems... Front: Rubbing when turning can be solved by getting new rims with less backspacing, thus sticking the tires further out away from the body.... Can also just get wheel spacers for the...

    4" superlift with 3/4 ton rear leaf springs?

    Also, do you have a lift now??? If stock, the rear leafs could be sagging alot and your shocks could be shot....

    4" superlift with 3/4 ton rear leaf springs?

    So is your rubbing only in the rear??? Do you offroad much and rub at full flex??? If it rubs when flexed out, maybe look into getting longer bumpstops... Your bumpstops may be gone now.... That would keep you tires from eating the fender wells and you wouldnt have to lift....

    I may do some swampers... These are the 37" hummer tires.... Its hard to get away from them since they so cheap... this set probably only has 30% left...

    finaly got her back

    So finaly got to drive my 97 Tahoe SAS.... It had a f'd tranny when I traded for it... Had a 700r4 built and installed... Rides pretty good... The suspension is better than I figured it would be for as tall as it is... I have to figure out the steering though... its a little loose.... I think...

    Taking off torsion bars

    I remember beating my bars from the rear towards the front to swap keys... I am pretty sure you could do the same just far enough to clear the cross member, move the bars down below the cross member and then beat them backwards out of the fronts...

    Taking off torsion bars

    I had swapped keys, but never needed to actually remove the bar... I am not 100% on if they remove forward or backwards... but when you get to that point, youll only have 2 options lol.... just be real carefull around the gear puller when it has tension... put as little tension on it turning the...
