Just thought i would share with you guys my final price on the sas.

Dana 44 gears plus install kit-187.14 (ebay)
superwinch manual locking hubs-45.34 (ebay)
Rear fox shocks(splurged a little here-310 (ebay)
35 inch bfg muds and rims- 250 (co4x4.org)
Coilovers with springs-460 (ebay)
Dana 44 rebuild kit-100 (ebay)
waggy axle and custom made square driveshaft-174 (pull and save)
Wheel spacers and leaf perches-50 (friend)
Random tools and autozone trips-250 (autozone)
Calmini SAS kit-1825.52 (picked up at Allphase Offroad)
Rear h233b gears-420 to my door (4x4parts.com)
so around $4350 all said and done
Of course it also nice to have a friend with every sort of tool possible and doing everything including gears urself. But with patience and time it can be done for fairly cheap allowing you to splurge on a few items.
Any questions just ask.

Wow - you got some really great deals there! That's probably about as cheap as it can be done.

thats awesome...got part #'s ?

i got em off ebeay i dont know the part numbers...

you used a Calmini kit but still had leaf perches made??

Yes. The base Calmini kit is the front end minus the coilovers and driveshaft. For the rear end he hadta go SOA or buy lift leaf packs.

thanks jeff you got my back...

Mine was considerably less with leaves and I have an ARB front locker, diff armor, and a beefed pitman arm. That ride is nicer with the coilovers though. My rear axle was already geared with 5.14's when I had the IFS under it.

I'm not counting tires and wheels because I used the same 32's I had for a while before stepping up to 33's. Also, I already had a set of BDS rear springs and some crazy 7" shackles out back for height there (it sat tail high with IFS, now it sits a little nose high).

Add the rear gears and springs that were already on the truck and I'd still be in the neighborhood of $3500.

Both sound like great deals with great end results.

You guys are both very resourceful!



Now it's my turn!!

I won't be able to match your price, though.

Stay tuned; I plan on being SASed within 45 days.
