Im planning an SAS this spring on my 01 Edge. Im gonna do a setup like the 02 fx4 thats on this forum. My question is if i have to relocate my rear hangers to fit my rear lift springs. Id like to not have to do that and just bolt in some springs and bolt in the axle. Im using a ford 9 inch and matching dana 44 front out of a 71-76 f150.
Thanks guys

 

If you dont want to fab then a SAS isnt for you....

 

but if you use the leaf springs that came on the 9" in the F-150, then YES you will have to relocated your front hanger.....it will take A LOT of measurements and so forth to get it correct......

 

Your cutting the Cwedges off that axle im assuming? If you dont want to mess it just get some skyjacker lift springs

 

Im not concerned about havint to do some fab work i was just curious of there were lift springs for the back i could just put in instead of having to relocate the front hangers to the rear springs. Redranger, your saying i could use some lift springs for the back? Yes im cutting off the C wedges for the front axle.

 

BTW i know this is not gonna be a quick or easy job.

 

skyjacker makes leafs for our trucks, they are labeled as 93-97 but they work on all rangers

 

I just checked those out there are only for a 2 inch lift, definately not enough. Im gonna check out the allpro leaves and see if the dimensions are similar. If have to move em theres no gettin around it just trying to avoid it.

 

that aint all Skyjacker has for our trucks......Skyjacker part# FR36.........i have 6" Skyjacker leafs in my truck.....with the stock lift block, you get 6" of lift....if you take out the block you get 4" of lift.......

 

Cool, ill check em out

Thanks

 

Hmm, not gonna work, wont be keeping the lift block, guess ill be moving the mounts, unless i can find some others to work.

 

why you need so much lift?

 

I just figure im going to make it as big as possible if im going to spend all the money and time into doing an SAS. Dont want to have to go back and make it bigger if im unhappy with it. Plus the addition of 38 inch tires. I really dont understand why there is such a debate with this. Everytime i ask questions about it, everyone wants to turn me off the idea of the SAS.

 

Im not trying to turn you off, Im just not into show trucks and big lifts so 4-6" would be more then enough for me with 38's i would just cut fenders to fit them.

 

Fair enough, i plan on doing some wheeling with my truck but yah itll be mostly street driven. Your truck has a good setup but i just want mine to be bigger thats all. Itll be a street queen but itll be badass for in the future when its not my main ride ill be able to take it wheelin.
