Don't forget about lifting the rear end.

Then you have wheels, tires, gears, lockers, armor, etc etc it never ends.

So what's wrong with Trail Gear's kit?? It would be nice if you would back up a comment like that.

There is nothing wrong with TGÆs kit. I just do not buy stuff from then for personal reasons. To my conscience and me, the money saved is not worth it.

truest words you'll ever hear <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

My buddys wife told my wife ten years ago "you just bought a money pit". Many dollars later I am still doing stuff. Thinking about full hydro now!!!!

Supporting a company that outright steals from another is something I will never do. I'm glad that the 6-stud knuckle fiasco and other unethical business practices were brought to light by one of their former racers on PBB. It spread pretty quickly, but I don't think it made it here. Bottom line, the new phrase that I'm seeing "if it's only available at TG, I don't need it" is starting to gain hold among a number in the wheeling community.

EDIT: interesting reading.

WOW.. I don't know what is being discussed here, but it sounds juicy!

dose it matter if the rear is 1inch taller than the front

No.

i would NOT even attempt this unless you are an experienced welder. if your spring hanger isn't welded right and comes off, you're going to get in a really bad accident. this isn't the kind of project people jump into not knowing what they're doing although if you're confident enough in your welding, and you guys do a lot of research, you should be alright.

but, i've looked into doing a sas myself, and the minimum you're going to spend is about $2,500. that's not including larger tires(at least 35's) and gears if you want to do it right. that would tack on another 2 grand.
