I gotta put at least a 44 under mine due to the 351 being transplanted under the hood. just 1 question.........how are you in the SAS 1/2 ton group with only a dana 30 up front? (still ain't bashing)
If you look under your "user CP" you will see group memberships, under that is where the banners are, dana 30's are included in the 1/2 ton SAS, I guess they didnt want to make one just for the d30's

How do you swap out the front drive shafts for a solid axle? If their is a threat showing how to do it and what you'd need. I'd love to read it and give it a go on my truck.

Thumbs up Seat's Question

Please PM me.

Im sorry if you have already responded to a similar questin. I couldnt read through all the posts about your seats. I was wondering about the install wasnt there a whole mess of Airbag equippment in the facory seats? if so were you able to transfer them over to the new seats or did you disable your airbags?

Thank You
John

it actually is a dana 44 but out of a rubicon. im doing the 5 on 5.5 lug conversion on it too so it will be like a regualr dana 44.

Just wondering, as I own and wheel a 06 rubi, and have gone through two or three axles with 33" tires.
Chris
well i dont have any problems with it. the axleshafts are chromoly and they are thicker than the regular dana 44 shafts.

i used the sliders from the factory seats along with the seatbelts. i just had to cut everything apart and taylor it for the new seats. there was nothing that i noticed for the airbags but i hooked everything back up like it was when i finished the sliders. havent had any problems.

i love these seats. they look awesome, feel smooth and for me, they are just at the right comfort level. im using the enduro seats which are for jeeps and lifted trucks so the sides dont come up as high and you can actually move around in them.

Thanks, I really like how mine is turning out. I have learned so much working through the development of my truck. I thought long and hard about a SAS before I finally committed to the DBR.
