^^ nobody ever said a SAS would be cheap....

it would work with slight modifications......the only thing you may have to modify is the ends of the tie rods if you are using heims.....and maybe were it mounts to the frame....

no that sttering setup looks overpriced, less than ideal and the totally wrong application for something that would work with a much simpler setup.

It might be just the angle, but you can see his steering setup had the track bar and drag link a little bit off parallel. in this angle he could have dropped the upper tack bar mount end to get more parrallel, but you can see that the lower bend might interfere with the axle. One of the draw backs you using a pre engineered setup, you have to adjust around it...

I understand what you are saying now, it wasn't clicking in before.

I'm not 100% sure how mine will work out, I can always return the Track bar and make my own if its not what I want or we have issues.

The best for TTB maybe, but for a solidaxle that is a horrible design.
