make sure you get a transfercase out of a 80's or older solid axle chevy cause the newer t-case's drop on the driverside, you got a passengerside drop front axle, i would also replace the welded spider gears with a locker.
Gathering parts for SAS
I guess im finally going to do it, I finally got my mom to let me make my truck a 4x4 with 1 tons, so I need to know what all I will need for the swap.
I went yesterday and got my axles, I got a 14 bolt FF out of a 01 suburban with disc brakes for $250, and a D60f out of a 85 chevy 1 ton. They both have 4.10 gears, and the front has warn lockouts and has the spider gears welded, and it also has crossover steering.
I know that I will need a transfercase, springs, and the oru sas kit. Im planning on going through the front axle and putting in new bearings and seals. What else will I need? besides driveshafts.

to keep you speedometer working you need a passdrop np241 out of a late 80s early 90s k5 or saburban. and you will need a bumch of little stuff to as you go to.
I plan on using a divorced t-case. My truck is a 4x2 now, so should my speed sensor be somewhere on the tranny?
What kind of truck is it?
If you are going divorced and it is a newer chevy you shouldnt have to mess with the VSS, it is usually on the tailshaft of the tranny.

yeah your spedo will never be changed cause you can run the 2wd tranny.
Sorry, I sould have clarified. The truck is a 98 chevy 2500 ext cab long bed 4x2. with a 350 and a 4l80e?
I plan on keeping the stock tranny.
I might have a deal working on the T-case, and I plan on getting a genuine suspension kit, probably the 6".
will 8.5" be enough to clear 38's? and which kit should I order from oru? the kit for 88-98 c1500's or the kit for 88-98 4x4 1500,2500, and 3500? The D60 is a chevy so I know i need a kit for the 32.5" spring width.

Just went and ordered 37x12.50x16 ssr's, will 8.5" be enough to clear them? Will it be to much? I dont want the fender sitting way above the tire.
Considering a SAS usually give you about 4 inchs off the bat so the 8.5 should be more than enough.....room to flex :bigthumb:
I looked at a truck yesterday with the oru kit and a set of 6" springs, with 38's and it had alot more clearance than I like. I want my tires to sit in the fender wells a little, So will the oru kit and 4" springs be enough to clear 37's under normal off-roading.
4 shoudl = abour 7inchs so put in some 1inch zero rate add add a leafs for 8inchs and you should be good
Well, I hope 6.5-7" will work, because I went ahead and orderend the oru kit and the rough country 4" today. btw when you change to 1 ton u bolts, the price on the lift goes up quite a bit. :shock:

yes it does and by the way rough country's won't flex they ride stiffer than shioot and they suck
forgot plain and simple you get what you pay for
