There isn't a bolt in sas swap kit available, you have to remove all the front suspension & torch off all brackets and build from scratch.


Why go around? When You can go over!

Getting the Wheeling Fever
Hey I've got some axles for sale... Cheap. They are corporate 10 bolt's with 8.5" ring gear. I've seen ring and pinion sets up to 5.57 ratio... not suer what kind of driving you are looking to do but they'd be great for a light rock crawler. if you are driving it on the street you'll probably have to put some kind of fender flare on it!


Yup it's a Kia. 4" RockSportGear lift. 31 X 10.5 tires.

Found this guy on youtube in bulgaria, crazy but here is a boat load of pictures for his SAS, uses some axles from a UAZ or something, weird looking, but really cool. 4 link front and rear.

Body Damage is Cool
He is using portal axles, the center line of the axle is higher than the center line of the hub. They give you extra ground clearance plus a gear reduction at the hub. If you look at Unimogs they have portal axles and there is a company here in the U.S. that builds portal 9" axles but I can't remember who. They are expensive though. That guys project is cool though.
