dude, Ive been reasearching and around "SAS" stuff for a while. I know what it offers etc. No offense, but your truck isn't a huge step from stock. obviously you dont get why i suggested this for myself.
Its going in instead of stock parts for about the same price or less, and I'm not into speading 6k+ on a full D44 and D60 swap with all the goodies right now. thats all. And i wheel my truck when i can just like you. And you have no idea how crappy the stock torsion IFS is to say it offers all i need. The TTB is alot better
and i'm not being an *** just explaining myself..
and true, just like Zack. Baby steps so to speak.

Ehh, I would venture to say mine is pretty far from stock, bout the only stock suspension component left on the truck is the rear springs and that's cause they flex like mad. I was knockin you, had never heard of you having to replace parts, nor have I ever had to replace parts on a torsion set up, my chevy never touches dirt. Like I said I meant no disrespect by the question, and I know you have talked about it for a while was just curious my bad

That was a fun trip, a pretty difficult trail. Not one I would suggest to somebody new into the sport. One wrong move and you're tumbling... So far, the front axle is holding up great. The only problems I am having is with the POS Auburn ECTED lockers. However, the problem will be solved this week. ARBs will be at my door step on Tues. The auburns are coming out and getting sent back because I have had nothing but problems out of them. When I got them, they would lock and wouldn't unlock, now they have gotten to where they will try to lock, but come disengaged on their own...
Jey, no offense to you, but I have the jeep that I don't care about the body on. You are a great fabricator, but this truck is just as much show as it is go. I understand that scratches and dents can and will happen, and Im ok with that. But its a really nice truck, and I aim to keep it that way. It will have a bed and be a reasonable size as long as its my DD. I have to drive it a lot, so fuel mileage is a concern too. However, nobody can say crap about my truck. I built it to wheel, and wheel it I do, but it is a dual purpose vehicle. I can drive just about any trail I want with no issues, and then drive it to work on Monday.
