I built my sfa kit and only have $50 in it. Add 100 for a dana 30 and 100 for springs if you have the stuff its much cheaper. The limited market of parts for a series that is out of production is gonna keep the prices high and the companies willing to design parts for us limited. Sometimes you just gotta take what ya can get or forge your own path.
Question for ya, I've been thinking about doin a sas, what did you do about abs? If you got rid of it how did you eliminate it from throwing a code (In PA if there's any active codes in the computer it fails inspection no matter what it's for)

87 bud, no abs on mine. Heck we dont have fender laws or sniff tests. I only have to keep my headlights below like 54 inches or something like that.

Over on s10forum they have the measurements for a ring that allows you to run the s-series bearing hubs. This allows you to keep your abs and wheel bolt pattern.

S10 unit bearing to XJ Knuckle adapter ring - S-10 Forum

Other than that you just need somebody to remove the abs from the ecu. If ya want more infor on sas swaps on a friendly forum I suggest checking out s10extremist.org. Most of the same guys as s10forum but the maturity is higher over there.

I have been looking all over for fenders like that where are you going to get them from?

any other in-expensive lifts you guys know of? sounds like this new RC one isn't so reliable. suggestions for different lifts that aren't $100,000.. or details about how you made your own??? (shackles, brackets etc..)

Without the drop brackets you can crank the factory front end (Limited to 1.5 inches) and do the same exact job as the keys. Save your money.

Shackles are 2 inche for every one inch of lift.
Ex. Say the stock shackles are 3 inches center to center of the holes making a set that is 5 inches center to center will gain one inch.
