No need for that: http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f13/i-...1/#post4984079

Torn boots aren't bad. I'd just be using them as spares for when I have one grenade on the trials.

I have a nice set of rebuilt ones on my '91, but I can get the damn spindles off so I said f-it.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

I'll look at them, we weren't really careful when taking the IFS parts out. If they aren't too bad you can have them. Anything else you need? I got extra rims, real cheap and you don't have to have them shipped

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

I know it seems like I'm on a lot today, but thats because I'm waiting IMPATIENTLY on the junkyard to get my brake bracket part for me. It's the only thing holding the project up. After thats all set all that needs to be done is the drag link. All the brake plumbing is done now, I've been doing that all morning.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

Update: Tomorrow is the day Sally returns home. Tomorrow morning I need to bleed the brakes and put the wheels on, then drive it to the trailer and drive it home. I'll have pictures up a.s.a.p. tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

OKAY HERE THEY ARE!!!
Here's Sally on the trailer ready to go
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204519965
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520079
IFS Garbage
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520081
This is me attempting to get the pitman arm off
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520103
This is me starting to get the rear axle out
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520105
Here's how she sat after the springs were first hung
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520107
The D30 when first bolted in
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520113
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520137
NO ABS!!!
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520116
The 8.8 all bolted in
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520118
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520119
ALL DONE!!! for now. . . .
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520140
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520143
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520144
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1204520147

That is what I have for now. I still have a ton of work ahead of me. Because I was so pressed for time I didn't get a chance to cut away all the brackets for the IFS. Also I have a leaky rear brake line to deal with. Other than that I just need to flex it out to get measurements for the shocks. I'll definitely get pictures of that for everyone.
I hope you enjoy!

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

I didn't say there weren't any hitches, we actually had a decent amount of problems. I was planning to write a full break down of the days of the week. Like what happened/didn't happen/NEEDED to happen for every day.
I'll do that later this afternoon/evening
But thanks! I can't wait to see the 34s either, but my wallet can. . . .

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

Marcua56: I'm doing 34/10.5/R15 Interco LTB's for tires and I'm not 100% sure what I'll do for rims. Probably just something inexpensive from Summit. But NOT Soft 8s, because everyone has Soft 8s and I want to be a little different.

Tim:
I was planning on taking more pictures today but it's raining and it's shitty outside. So I'll get some soon, and thats great about the tires. Idk when I'll be getting mine, my bank account has to grow a little more before I can get them. Unless I get some used 33s to get me wheeling until my summer job starts.

Anything specific pictures people want to see? I know some people will be interested in the crossover steer arm setup and how it turned out.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

I'm not 100% sure on that yet. I only drove the truck like a few hundred yards at 930 last night. And I'm not driving it again until I get everything buttoned up. I still need to fix a rear brake line that blew out like an hour before I started the swap. I also need to get my allignment better and Jam nuts a little tighter. I'll know hopefully by this weekend how it turns and drives.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

To me the shackle angle and the springs are perfect! that is exactly what you want it to look like with the springs flat...that thing is going to droop like crazy!! The only downside to that is the driveline angle gets insane when its at full droop...I had to clearence my yolks to keep it from binding...What springs did you end up using? Beleive it or not I will probably be in the middle of another SAS in a couple weeks...my brother is wanting to do his blazer now...we are going to the junk yard at lunch tommorow to get a d30 from an 87 yj with 4:11 gears...also might pick up a set of great looking dakota leaf springs they have for it...He is excited, I just hope Im ready for another scramble to do one of these...

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

I ended up using 2wd F150 leaf springs for the front. I still have my leaf springs available and I'm TRYING to sell them to fund my wallet. The F150 springs were expensive so I'd like to sell the leafs I originally had. They are ZR2 leafs with a second main leaf from a 2wd S10 built into the pack. So PM me if your interested for your swap you're doing

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "the ones I have now" I have a lot of stuff now. I have my old s10 rims that are for sale. My old 31s were sold to my buddy for his 4Runner, and an extra set of leaf springs that I'm trying to sell.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

be sure to give a post wheelin report on your springs too - curious to stability as well as flex.


many thanks for your "questions" thread you started back in the day too - was easy to understand what a lot of the fellas are running, and saved me from asking a lot of the same questions. i'm not used to anything but d60's, 14 bolts, and rockwells so I have a lot to learn on the other axle types and strengths...really helped me out - cheers

Hmmm I suppose I ought to be worried too?...that is about the same as mine...maybe a touch more but with the springs running completely flat like that and shackles that short it should be ok...with springs like that there will be a lot of body roll no matter what (without a sway bar) ...now if he were running some really long lift shackles then it would be something to worry (more) about...all IMO of course!!

yeah, im not really worried about him flipping, that was more of an over statement. i do think it is a little much for a street truck though. we set my brothers sami to something similar, and it flexes great but would have a lot of body roll if it was ever up to speed. his shackle angle is more with the weight of the body on it.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS

if you reset the shackle angle, you should aim for around 55 degrees. It allows for good flex, and good streetability. looks good though man. congrats on the speed.

Re: Project: 1995 s10 SAS
