Spoiler ending pic:
Just how cheaply can a SAS be done? I'm about to find out. Granted, I'm cheating because I have almost everything on hand from SASing my other Ex. Should have no problem getting it driving for under $500, getting it geared and locked up for under $1000.
Rig as it sits now:
91 Sport, 5spd, electric t-case, 3.73s, open/open, 31" ATs on stock suspension
What I have on hand:
Full width D44 from 74 F100. 1/2" tubes, welded on wedges (cut off), all gone through, Chevy knuckles/brakes with 5x5.5 bolt pattern. All brackets in place for 3-link with panhard.
Full width 8.8 in good used condition but nothing gone through on it. May exchange for a 9".
1354M t-case with all linkage, has not been gone through but was behind my DD until I pulled it out for the 1/2 ton drivetrain.
Piles of misc steel, to fab what ever other brackets I need.
Box of poly bushings and sleeves for control arms.
36" TSLs on steelies.
3.5" Jeep coils, 13" travel Ranchos, F250 shock towers.
Complete 1.5" diameter .25 wall DOM steering kit with 1 ton Chevy TREs.
Double cardan rear driveshaft, 2" longer than stock.
Needed:
Flex joints for frame end of long arms, Shocker or Summit weld-on for $30 or $45. 2 or 3 needed, depending whether I go true 3 link or "Y-link" radius arms.
Chevy D44 brake calipers and pads, $20 each, $80 total.
Panhard, steel on hand, need 3/4" heim kit, $50 with all the trimmings off ebay.
US Standard 5:13 gears for 8.8 $150.
Sierra Gear 5:13 for D44 $127. 3.92+ carrier ~$50.
Total so far $567
