Kyle94 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) im thinking about SAS'ing my pathy, but i know not what is involved and what i need exactly... im only 16 and dont have to much experience with cars... its not going to be right away. its going to take a while to acquire all the parts cuz i dont have any money... i have like 3 dollas and some change, (im in the process of finding a job) so i have to acquire parts one by one... EDIT:guess i could do a search and look around for something... Edited July 4, 2010 by kyleky07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Searching would help since it,but I'll give you a idea. Dana 44 from a full size jeep. Front leafs,NO BLOCKS,Full spring pack. Front drive shaft. Regeared diffs, Low range tranfercase gears, Rear lift coils. The rear axle is strong anuff to live happly with 37 inch tall tires,after that a dana 60/14 bolt/crysler 9 1/4 would be better suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyehategod310 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 dont wanna thread jack but whats a good price for a dana 44? and would getting them from here be a good idea if i want a new one? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Drivetrain-Differential/G2-Front-Dana-44-Axle-Assembly.aspx?t_c=12&t_s=475&t_pt=100714&t_pl=101965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Why do you want to do an SAS? Do you plan on wheeling hardcore with it? If it's going to be a daily drive and only used as a weekend warrior on the trail, I'd just leave it IFS. But, that's just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try going back to school. An SAS won't be cheap or easy to do properly by someone with limited experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneZ Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 i dunnno... i just wanna lift it eventually and that seemed like the cheaper way... i think.. I Have not got all the parts for my SAS ready yet but i have most of them, I have been building allot of my own parts and rebuilding used parts to keep down cost, at this time I am just over 1000 dollars into the project. A IFS is much cheeper and if you look around you might find a used set for sale from someone that did a SAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 a 3" lift kit on the IFS is going to be much cheaper and easier than doing a SAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Regearing and gear setup alone can end up running you over $800. H233b gears are ridiculously expensive and it will cost you at least a couple hundred dollars to get front and rear gears setup by a professional. Most SAS builds that I have followed ended up running $1500-2000 and take anywhere from a month to forever to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 alright its settled then, im doing regular lift without sas... what do i need to look into for that?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Pretty easy if you just buy a kit from 4x4parts.com but you can piece it together as well You need longer shocks "lift shocks" New "lift" upper control arms New t-bars are optional, but definitely recommended and lift rear springs after you do all that, take it to an alignment shop.
