Default Solid axle swap / sas

Does anyone know of a solid axle swap kit that uses coil springs instead of leaf springs or does any know of someone that can make one for me.

The DC is way over priced

From a thread over on S10forum, they say its just parts from BDS at a higher rate, call off road direct, they are making one, not sure how far they are in it though

Off road direct is working out the bugs on a kit that will use a xj or tj front axle and links. Not in production yet but the pics I've seen look pretty good.

go to the s10 extremists forum, they have several members who have done a coil sas who could be helpful, but as far as i know, no one has a coil sas in production.

The coil setup is on the truck and they have posted pics. Still no date on release or even price. They have a big thread on s10forum

Sure would be nice if the mobile version of the site had an edit button

Plenty of companies sell bracket kits to weld on axles to make the bolt up to the factory xj and tj links.

Personally it looks like they used factory length links, long links would have been better.
