Thanks for sharing that with me! Super impressive build.
Do you happen to know what deaver springs you're using part number? Like spring rates, load capacity and arch height.I kept the overall frame length about the same, but pushed the rear axle back by using 64" Deaver springs made for desert racing. They were on the rear of my previous sas 2004 ranger and worked amazing on and off road.
They are 4" lift Chevy 63" springs. I can't remember the part number.
Thank you. This helps a lot. I'm considering doing that swap myself, but was going to use stock chevy leafs with longer shakles
Using the factory front spring perches, it moved the axle back about 8". If you relocate the front perch, you will gain lift as the frame begins to curve downward right in front of the stock perch.
Yea I measured the difference from mounting centers I would have to move the front mount 11 inches the rear I could actually move 2 inches forward to gain the 30 degree correct shakle angle. I love your build
Sounds like you're on the right track! I look forward to seeing the spring swap, I think it will benefit alot of people in this forum.
You're doing a ton for the community with a sas swap and openness of the build. Thank you I must credit you for my initial thoughts of the swap.
Thank you! My first sas that I did, I used forums like this to plan the entire build from start to finish. Hopefully it will help a few along the way. Although with ifs technology, it might make more sense to go the long travel route for most people.
