I have a 96 Tahoe with all factory drivetrain that I am planning on lifting 9 total inches and stuffing 38x14 tires under. I've got a few questions about doing a SAS and trans swap.
1. With the trans swap, I'm wanting to go with a 4l80 instead of the currently blown 4l60e. Ive looked around and found a few different options for kits and would like to know, what all will I need to complete this swap? Front driveshaft, and mounts I know, but anything else?
2. For the SAS. I'm wanting to use fairly large and wide tires, so would I be safe with a driver drop Dana 44 with 33 splines shafts, or should I go Dana 60?
3. Should I upgrade the rear axle as well, or just bump the shafts?
4. Following the axle upgrades, is there a t case that I should upgrade to, over the factory np243 case I've got now?
Any suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated.
