I did my SAS swap last summer and I used 4 inch chevy leafs up front to hang my D60. It seemed a lot easier than the coil route and it flexes quite well. I was just wondering why everyone is using coils.

Yep, I'm using a hybrid pack from an '86 F350 diesel. All stock junkyard components, 52" center to center, but they wouldn't accomodate 39.5's without some serious fender trimming.

Haz fest was fun. I didnt break anything so that is always a plus. The pics are here http://www.backwoods4wd.com/trips/Haz-Fest%202003/

There was only a few fords. Mainly toyotas. The crusteasun was there and he broke a warn axle and a ctm joint trying this hill. That thing is nuts. There were about ten roll overs the whole weekend, people were putting their trucks on the sides constantly.

it seems like a lot of people with a sas have '92-'96 and with leaf springs you have to deal with the crumple zone frame. this is why i stayed with coils.

I'm runnin reverse shackle leafs on my D60 swap. I went with the leafs over coils for cost reasons. I had the '91 F-350 complete rolling chassis, so most of the parts for the swap came off of that.
