That will work if you don't mind being raped with the cost of it! Not to mention it still won't correct the cv angles since it doesn't lower the front diff any. So really you may as well save yourself $992 and crank your torsion bars a bit with what you have now and then spend $50 tops on some rear shackles. Check out the Rought Country kit. It is half the cost and it includes a diff drop brackets to put things back at the correct angles.
The torsion bars are what give the 4wd s-series trucks their lift and I figured I would help you out with the correct knowledge on the subject.
Rather than getting so defensive why don't you just see that what I am trying to do is give the OP correct information regarding his vehicle rather the the incorrect info you posted. I get it we all make mistakes or get confused I've done it and when I do I man up and say thanks for the correction!!
And yes there will be "terminology police" on the forums! Thats how people get the right info!!
And look I'll even do it to Newguy and I bet he won't be all butt hurt about the correction! Newguy thats a fullsize swap kit so it won't work on the s-series.

Bdemutis just disegard what ever he says! He doesn't want to admit that he either doesn't know what hes talking about or was simply confused so I wouldn'd pay much attention to him if I were you. Honestly if I were you I would just do a mild tbar crank and shackles and put some 31's on there. You can have a ton of fun with that setup and it won't being needing repairs every time you turn around. The simple answer to your original question about sas is that there is no such thing as a cheap sas swap. You could take your time buying everythng here and there as you find it at good prices but you are still looking at $1000-1500 by the time you are done! The little things required add up very quickly! I would say take some more time and read everything you can find as far as build threads and such and then determine farther down the line if the sas is something you really want to tackle.

I just wanted to say good job rex! lol
Seems like everytime I read something "incorrect" (polite way of saying it), I feel the need to say something about it. Then I read a little further and you've pretty much said everything I've wanted to say, only in a much nicer way than I would have. lol
So good job, and thanks from preventing me from saying something that might get me in trouble

I try to keep it peaceful as best I can while still passing along the correct information to a fellow member in need of some assistance.
