If you are not ready to dent sheetmetal, don't worry about the SAS. You won't be on trails where you need it. You can fit 33's inexpensively and reliably. Take a look at 4crawler.com and also Sonoran steel to see what I mean.

The IFS can be very very strong for a small amount of dough

I completely dissagree, On my 91 with bald 33ats I cant keep my ifs togather on anything but the road. If im in rocks I had better have a spare hub or 2 at home, if im doin general trail riding I need cvs and if im in mud its a front diff. Granted this truck doesnt get driven easily but ive taken out at least a cv every time I got out wheelin


Do you have your torsion bars cranked up a lot? That is really weird.

Probably running a front auto locker as well. I have been wheeling IFS for 17 yrs now, and have never blown a hub, a CV, or the front diff. I also haven't seen anyone else do it on the trail either, except those running a non-selectable locker.

Actually I have seen more blown birfs, longs, and SA diffs, than IFS components. Bending things like idle/pitman arms, and tie rods is more common damage to IFS, than CV's & hubs.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
