Default DIY SAS. Any new info?

I'm looking to do a SAS this summer but haven't a clue about what works and what doesn't. I've had many Bronco II's before my Blazer and that was almost second nature. This is new territory for me. Any info or threads would be appreciated..... I did a basic search and I found old threads or links that didn't work. I have the equipment to do the swap and resources to acquire the components that aren't specialized, i.e. various OEM parts. I'm a cheap sum-bench but I'll spend the coin where necessary. Who's done it and what did they learn?

Thanks neo. I took a peek on that site. There has to be more members here that have gone this route? If it's rare to see on this site I'd do a tutorial..... I'm determined to do the swap!!!! It would be my first but I can make a decent go at it. I don't enjoy making a family more than once.

Default Thanks skotti....

Although I'm new here, I'm not new to forums. Using the search function and/or the words "and", "also", "or", "including" and other inclusive terms has been my Achilles.... I know I'll find what I'm looking for but each site is different. Just trying to get a jump start!

zr2usa.com has a pretty good SAS section but their forum hasn't been working for me the past week or so

just reading those sites, the words to search for get easier...lol


I researched for 3-4 months before i bought a single thing. hell i sold my ifs lift before i bought a single piece. this will point you into what to look for. its first gen but still all is applicable and pretty informative.
s10extremist.org


Another thing that helped me was, i found someones build that i liked, so i read it over and over. once you know whats involved. you can come at us with better questions and we can help you out more.

I've been researching for over 2 years and gathering parts. I have had my hangers built for some time I just can't make up my mind on axle and spring combos. Every time I see one I think I like enough to settle on I find one I like better.
