Tim99Zr2 · 09-08-2008, 06:03 PM

GeorgesBlazah · 09-08-2008, 06:23 PM

If you hafto ask, its probably already too much.

you also bought brand new axles?

bubbagt57 · 09-08-2008, 07:19 PM

go to your bean account if you have multiple accounts choose highest add 2 zeros. that is the price

tfpets · 09-08-2008, 07:27 PM

My best guess doing it my way...Being a 2nd gen you may have some other t-case issues though...I recently posted this in another thread...

Junkyard d30-$180
Junkyard 8.8-$180 (optional)
JB raised steering bracket-$159
Custom drag link-$45
Custom drivelines-$80 each
Leaf Springs-$50
XJ Pitman arm-$10
Steel- about $100
Rubicon Express soa perches-$35 set
Shocks- $60 set
Steering Stabilizer-$60

$1134 at worst
+$500 for other little misc.items
$1634-Total

melon16 · 09-08-2008, 08:01 PM

yea new axles but by the time you rebuild, regear, and add lockers to junkyard axles you're gonna end up paying more than i did

***Donahue*** · 09-08-2008, 08:09 PM

it depends how resourceful you are. i recently did the math, and i have about $3,000 in my blazer not counting labor as it sits. that is locked front and rear, (5) good tread 38's, 4 linked rear, dual cases, everything.

wrekd · 09-08-2008, 10:26 PM

Im up around $2800 with brand new tires. All it really needs now is gears and rear shocks.

im prob up around 3gs

770 for tires
120 for wheels
200 for body lift
660 for gears
200 for axle and springs
400 for shocks
160 for x-over steering
50 for heim joints for steering
100 for front DS
20 for NP231j
150 for wheel adapters
50 for steel

this all adds up to 2880

tires and wheels were bought before the SAS thou.

those are big ticket items not to mention the many little things i got for it. they nickel and dime you to death

4wdjoey · 09-08-2008, 10:47 PM

you guys are rich...

the only money i've spent on mine is on the Reid Racing (Dedenbear) knuckle and the high steer arm at my dealer cost, and $300 on my tires/wheels.
the rest were freebies or extra parts we have....i'm cheap.

i'm certainly not rich. if you think about how much crap is on or has been done to my truck, i'm still way ahead of the curve.

zhillz · 09-16-2008, 04:35 PM

mine is coming out to around 3k including tires.

poriggity · 09-16-2008, 10:14 PM

I've been giving thought to SAS'ing my S10, and taking apart my jeep to do so, which has a D30, 8.8 and is already geared and locked.. Who knows though.. SAS is expensive no matter how you slice it.

***Donahue*** · 09-17-2008, 10:49 PM

in my opinion, its not the sas that is the expensive parts, its all the stuff that a sas lets you have like lockers and big tires. the actual swap of the axle can be super cheap, if not free. but people always add the cost of lockers, gears, big tires, etc. that is just poor communication in my book, that stuff is not needed, just wanted. if you were to add up the cost i would have spent to finish my SAS with coils in the front like my original plan, i could have had the axle in there for less that probably $150. it the fact that i added a locker, gears, fancy crossover steering, a doubler, etc that i have $3000 in my whole truck.

MTchevyS10 · 09-19-2008, 03:31 AM

I've experienced numbers pushing 5-6k.
Needed to be done right the first time though.

what what what? mine is just over 3k and i have new gears, all new axles parts, brand new springs/perches/hangers, new flattop knuckles with highsteer setup etc... all my shit is new minus the axles/rims/tires.Maybe if you bought brand new tires/rims i could see 4k.

Tim99Zr2 · 09-19-2008, 03:03 PM

he did. he also 4 linked his in the front.
4 new 37" iroks.... not cheap

A good number of the parts of those parts were purchased below book value for various reasons. Had it all been bought at retail cost, it would have gone over that for sure.

I can relate, I'm pushing twice that and it ain't finished, but mine involved a little more than an SAS. I also got new tires & wheels.

It's not so cheap when you stray away from basic leaf spring setups and bolt-on's is it?
