Bill and i got a lot done today, finally. *still need the steering, track bar. to run the vent/brake/arb lines and to mount the shocks and wristed arm when mark finishes it ( HINT, HINT)
The laid back brackets I had made worked out awesome, it left a really good angle. Check it out under sas pics if you are interested

nice work damon

Nice work on the SAS, Looks really Clean!
I was looking through you Superford Pics and saw your "Laid Back" radius arm brackets. What do you mean by Laid back?

That looks great rockon nice job!! :thumbup

coming along nicely....I hope to be right behind you this weekend

by laid back mounts he means that he cut reangled the mount so it dosent bind the arm and bushing with the added lift since he isnt using drop brackets, I plan to do this as well

way to go Daamon .. looks nice .. how long is it taking so far?

Longer than expected of course. I did the removal and coil bucket install by myself, but needed extra hands for the axle install. Bill has been nice enough to drive an hour to my house 3 x to help. We were running into snags with getting the rad arm brackets right, until we decided to lay them back, so that jammed us up for a while.
Ordered the steering and track bar today, hopefully will go in tomorrow and thursday. Should be running soon.

What do you mean when you say that?

Where did you get this stuff from?
I'll be needing them soon :cool:

dustin answered that above. Basically I had the brackets cut and then tilted the mounting surface back approx 20 degrees to alleviate the bind on the bushings at ride height. It looks dead on and should make these brackets work great.
We tried using the stock TTB brackets, but couldn't get the spacing/mounting right with the body mount bracket in the way. the older brackets also give a good bit more of drop to help line up the radius arms.
I order the steering etc. from rockequipment.com. All dom tube with Chevy TRE'S (1 TON STUFF)

I got it now. Thanks :)

I was just looking over rockequipment.com and didn't see all the steering. Did you call for the parts custom? Do they have a trac-bar? Are you running Cross over steering?

I reemed the knuckles and pitman arm to go over the knuckles. You have to go up to their menu bar and scroll down to their tierod kits, or something like that

thats going to suck if I finish mine before yours this weekend :mrgreen:

Got any pics Dustin?

nothing to take a pic of yet,havent started. Hopefully this weekend all hell will break loose and parts will fly. there will be many pictures taken as well

I have been since I have started gathering parts, just waiting on a buddy to let me come over and tear it apart.

Very nice. It's coming along great! :cheers:

Don't panic Dustin :bawling . You'll be rid of that POS TTB by Monday. Bud and Doug said they'll come and help.

...now if I can only get the new one built by Saturday morning :flipoff:

I have no worrys, just joking around.

I should have an extra hand on my end for sunday

if you need help I can come help weds or thurs since i have it off. I need to go halfway down there anyway to get shocks and brake lines

well, i got the track bar completed thanks to a friend jack. It is great, and a different approach to what dustin and Scott have done. there is still zero bumpsteer. everything is under SAS if anyone cares.

Looks real nice...Great job!! how do those springs ride?

WOW! Nice install. Real clean. I started out lookin at the SAS pics and ended up checkin out all the pics. Got a nice retina burn goin.

MY EYES! THE GOGGLES . . . THEY DO NUTHING!

crazed, so far the springs are very nice, much nicer than the superlift ttb springs I was running. If I still had a ttb lift on, I would definately opt for these instead of any others.

I am going to be slowly collecting parts for my SAS ...so I am trying to figure out parts. Are they softer?

not than the superlifts, maybe 50 pounds heavier, but my superlifts were way too soft. these just feel much firmer, but are still soft and flex enough to be comfortable.
Keep in mind tho, I have the winch and heavy front bumper.

Nothing like a good simpsons quote!

Now that you've had it for a while how do you like the SAS?

Hey Superdave, where did you get your avatar? It looks familiar. It looks like a guy's Bronc that used to be in Texas A&M Offroad jumping out at Ft. Hood.

I got it off of another website a few years back when I first bought mine.
Here is the original pic. Is it the one you were talking about?
