Interesting to see how this pans out. Been thinking about SAS my 97 next year when I get another daily. Nice work so far!

 

I'm gonna swap in a Cherokee front output shaft and do a SYE kit on the rear so it has fixed yokes. And I got rid of that 60 because of the center-axle-disconnect being too much of a pain to work around. The 50 having a single piece axle and smooth tube makes it easier to modify. Also the Dodge 60 is low pinion and the 50 is high so that makes for better drive shaft angle and ground clearance.

 

Finally picked up the rear end last week! Got a 9" out of an '81 F150.

 

what are you doing for bolt patterns? converting the front?

 

Yeah, I'm gonna go with spacer/adapters even though I'm a bit weary of ball joint wear. But I'm gonna have to narrow the front housing a good bit to make it fit and the spacers will bring it back out to about the same width as the rear. Plus that'll move the wheels out from the springs a little bit too

 

After doing some research, I will not be going with spacer/adapters. The only ones I could find are about $170 for each side and questionable as far as strength is concerned. So I'll just have to drill holes like you did, Jamaroon.

 

Went and picked up some 52" Chevy 1/2 ton springs for the front today. Gonna have to tear the pack apart because someone made a weird bastard pack and threw a short spring right in the middle.
