So your going to SAS?

 

did you get a new truck? hope your not doing this to the one you have now. i don't think itll hold up. what axles are those? what did they come out of?

 

are you putting the 9 inch under there too? i thought you just put an xploder 8.8 under it. good luck with the swap!

 

Have any better pictures? What are they out of?

 

im not sure what they are out of they are from my buddys junk yard

 

leaf spring d-44 or coil

 

leaf

 

are you going to keep it leaf, so its a ford axle or what is it? 8 lug low pinion drivers side drop correct

 

could be a 8 lug HP from a 78-79 250.

 

What do you want for that explorer 8.8 you just put in?

 

Dude, in all seriousness I don't think you should be messing with this stuff. After some of the stuff I've seen before from you do you seriously think you are ready to do something like this? This isn't just a bolt on little thing or welding on shock tabs, this is serious. Unless you are having someone else who has done stuff like this before do it for you/help you do most of it, I don't think you should do it.

^^^Korey being serious for once

 

Have you ever done a sas on this year truck?

 

yes thats true to what do the hubs look like that one way to tell other then the LP and HP


do the hubs look like this?

 

I'm not going to say anything else about it, I don't want a huge argument and posts getting deleted and stuff. I said what I had to say and thats it.

 

dont mind the haters DOWNEY there just jealous they arent SOLID lol
I would look for a 76-79 f-150 front axle though it would be a very simple straight forward swap with coils and stock RA's.

 

i mean thats going to be awesome if you pull it off man. i would never try anything like that. you got some nutz man. but like everyone else said, just be careful. and that doesn't go for just you. anyone, no matter how good their fab skills are, should be very careful before pulling off something like this.

mistakes and accidents are not on purpose. just make sure that you get everything done correctly before you hit the road, and possibly put others in danger too.

good luck with whatever you end up doing.

 

I've got a 44hd sitting in my garage right now waiting for the rest of the parts.

You really really should do a coil sprung setup. I want to trade to a ttb ranger just so I can have a more bolt in swap.

If you do have a 44hd, match it with another 8 lug rear. It'll just look goofy otherwise and be a pita with wheels.

You'll have one hell of a learning experience coming your way. I'm just rebuilding and gathering parts and I'm already having second thoughts about how I'm gonna do it.

 

^^^ agree guess you guys will just have to wait and see what happens

 

what happened to cash for clunkers??!!! haha

 

haha i was just thinkin the same thing, last i seen that thing was goin to its grave what happened? and now that you do get to keep it(?) your going to tear it apart and try to sas it?? your potentially putting all your memories in that thing at risk if something were to go wrong! think about the memories man!!

 

^^^ he has had dibs on that thing since the day he helped me put it in. i said if you ever get rid of this i want the axle lol

 

It probably wont happen since you don't have the skill or knowledge to do this swap.

Don't act like like you know what your doing, Ive heard the horror stories of you calling justin to ask advice on how to change a simple wheel bearing. And the shock tabs on the back axle, are you going to tack the SAS in to drive it somewhere so it can get fully welded?

Find a shop, drop the truck off with the axles and pay someone to do it, or plan B which I would go with is drop it at a dealership and cash for clunker the truck.

 

sooooooooo you got the bom #'s or figure out anything else about the axle? I'm all curious now...

 

Bad idea, You need some experience first along with skills. I wouldnt do it if I where you. But you could pay me to do it.
