Every SAS is different. Look around online read what others have done and go from there. The possibilities are endless! As for kits no lot really no one makes a complete bolt or weld on kit. Sky Manufacturing and ORD both make a front shackle hanger that will help you get started but after that you are pretty much on your own to figure the rest out. S10forum and S10extremest have a lot of build threads on SAS's so you may want to try looking there.

x2 on s10extreamist. They have a lot of sas builds on there. I'm planning a solid axle swap sometime (hopefully) soon, and I've read a lot about it on their site. It's probably a lot harder to do than a kit out of a box, but if done right it will be bulletproof, and you can get a bunch more lift, run bigger tires, etc.

Yeah, no kidding on the sas being superior. I have to replace both upper control arms because the ifs was never meant to run bigger tires with less backspacking... I just want to say I HATE control arms and cv joints in general. For the money to beef up an ifs system, a sas is the way to go.

Well I put 3inch shackles on it today had the worst time getting the bolt out on the left side the bushing was destroyed so had to replace it but. I measure from the top of the tire to the trim before and after and I got 3inches from it. I just need to T-bar crank it tomorrow if it dosn't snow because I didn't have time today to.
