If you've got everything ready to go (tools, parts, and knowing how its all going to go together), then one friend should be plenty. The two I've done were done in a weekend that way, but we weren't completely ready beforehand either time, so they were LONG days.

But like Surlynkid said, this swap is a lot more custom than on the mini-trucks, so you're not likely to be able to buy all off the shelf parts like you can for the mini's, and you are likely to run into some unexpected problems that might slow you down. With some serious pre-planning and research, I'm sure you could do it though.

Sky-manufacturing.com's "full width" front spring hanger would work for a T100, but you'd have to figure out something different for the shackles. That, and the steering (drag link/tie rod lengths) are really the only things different than a swap on a mini. Steering info you could get from others here I'm sure.

We set up Surlykids quite a bit different though since he's wanting to run such large tires. We put the shackles in front so the tire would move forward instead of back when it goes up, and moved the axle further forward than normal. And yes, since this is far from the "standard" way of doing a SAS, there have been some unexpected problems...

How long til your steering arrives and you can bolt it in and drive it, Scott? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
