The only person I have ever seen do an SAS and retain the original mount is Oscar. But thats becouse he moded his rancho extended TTB radius arms to work on a solid axle and the Rancho arms reuse the radius arm bracket, relocated further back.
Im pretty sure you can it has nothing to do with the C bushings. The shaft on the solid axel radius arm is larger than the ttb radius arm if you can get the bushings to fit it may work.
I tried using the TTB brackets because the face of them is angled back to help keep the bushings "un-bound" at ride height.
But, alas they brought the bushings in too far and caused more bind than they helped. I never even got them spread far enough apart to fit on the frame, even with the C cap bolts loose as a goose.
I ended up using the 78 mounts and cut 20 degrees out of them. They work much better gooder.
Yeah that is what I was thinking. I already have the 8" springs so I am just going to stick with them to save some headaches and I don't need the extra lift anyways.
