First off a little background info; names logan I'm 19 and live in the porltand area. I've built jeeps and toyotas and figured its time for something new. This is the first ford I've ever owned. When I got it it was at stock ride height with 28 inch tires 2.9l v6 with 7.5 rear end and d28 ttb up front. Pics and upgrades coming soon. Off to work!!!

so heres the sas part :) all the parts that i ordered and through together. did jeep dana 30 and dana 35 axles front and rear, 4.88 gears welded rear end and spartan locker up front. do the math on the gears and locker alone and you almost got a grand, with the axles probably 1200 all together. i bought for 400 ;) soon to have chromolys in the front. btw the guy threw in about 200 dollar steering with the axles..for free. i used toyota rear leaf springs (3rd gen push it about 4 inches forward on a toyota sas, well i put my hanger where i wanted..all the way up! haha) and a trail gear toyota front spring hanger. remember the cherokee dana 30s have A BUNCH of coil bull shit and i have no torch.. went through 15!!! cut off wheels. i have to pull everything back out and paint it also. i havent done shocks yet either but i have the shock hoops and 14" belstiens. should work well. i had to get perches front and rear obivously and build my own drivelines which i didnt get pics of :( im pretty proud of em. sorry pics and all arent in order its hard since ive already done so much but from here on out ill stay up to date
