my d30 sas

[dangerranger83]

Ive done a bit of that already and only thing I had was my coil slipped a bit on the top bucket and lost a bolt for the frame mount for the longarms. At first, I gave no mercey, I hit curbs, every pot hole I could, etc...and all has held up well for me.

Like I have said once and will say and live by....build it, break it, rebuild it stronger. If it holds to you beating on it then it should handle anything less then that just fine.

I did that and now my IFS clunks like a mofo hahahaha

Thats because it has 10,000 moving parts that do the samething as any other suspension....moves up and down (dont go into details about that either, I was just saying what it does).

In this case less equals more.

Front spring holder looks damn good.

Whats the difference of mounting the shackle front or rear?
i saw another Leaf SAS and the guy mounted it in the front.

from what i gathered after reading other forums and threads it improves ride quality. most factory leaf spring trucks, except jeep put the shackle in the rear. and most jeep forum guys and gals reverse the shackle to rear

They put them in the rear, cuz in the front as the bushings start to wear, the steering gets loose and the axle wanders when there is steering input

nope... sorry i haven't done any yet. still have to swap in the 3.73 locker so the 4x4 will work. been busy lately with roof damage @ home from hail and wind a couple months ago...insurance company are soooo slow

i will get to that hopefully this weekend

 

[dangerranger83]

The 4x4 should work even without a locker. Im running an open diff. on mine but will be putting an aussie in it one day.

locker isn't the issue.... front diff is 3.73 and rear is 3.27.. will explode important parts if i engage 4x4 to do some climbing

you can get poser shots in 2wd.. just ask RSH!

 

[dangerranger83]

Get it into mud and it wont know the difference. But the rear will be pushing the front, generally you want the front to pull. But I would ge them change out ASAP.
