In the process on my 89 k1500 scsb with a 12v cummins swap... Bought the 6" kit from wfo tha uses the carli 2.5" coil springs... Funny because i said to hell with that $700 cross member too lol... I figured some square steel tube would suffice for radius arms. Wasn't sure where i was going to mount it but this video helps alot. Was also nice to see where the lower track bar bracket is going to sit. Nice truck and thanks man!
If you haven't upgraded to rear disc brakes yet just go to junk yards and get a complete 11.5 AAM Disc brake axle and e-bake cables with e-brake already in them from 3/4 or 1 on GM truck for couple $100.00 cheaper then the disc brake kits
You crew cab guys make us ext cab guys jealous man. I got two ext cab gmt400s ones a 92 k1500 and I got a 93 gmc k3500 SRW long bed thats rust free and pristine other than needing to get an ls inside it, and a fender and a front end. Guy at work cracked the plastic Cadillac front end on it while we were moving the truck lol. Got a 12” lift for that one when I get the truck. Got a 93 gmc burb but that don’t count. My 99 gmt800 is an ext cab though as well. I’d trade at least two of my trucks for an obs crew cab.
Seems like you got it all figured out. I did my f150 like 10 years ago using leaf springs make my front end like 1000 times more reliable then the ifs.... They sell universel ujoints that can go from 1350 to what ever size you had already I did that saved me time in money
I've always wanted to try a single leaf spring with coil springs over the axle , the single leaf spring would act as the 5 link radius arms holding the axle in place only while the coil spring would do the actual work.
I like that frame plate wish I woulda done that real nice rig man!! I love having an older Chevy that's better than these 60000 trucks they buy any way u can see mine on my channel like what you did !!
I just bought a 98 k1500 that has a solid axle swap i believe from a 3500 ram, I have no idea what its for, could you give input to what this does and does this mean 4x4 does not work on these trucks anymore?
Are you located in South Carolina? I swear I saw this truck at a public landing at Lake greenwood this last weekend. Debating swapping my 96 k1500 and wouldn't mind getting some ideas from ya if so
Badass truck! I want to convert my 2000 GMC 3500HD to 4WD. It has the factory I-beam axle in the front with leaf springs. Not sure if I should go with a Dana 60 or Dana 70. It has a Dana 80 in the rear, 19.5 inch 10 lug wheels, 7.4 Vortec (454) and a 4L80E trans. It sits pretty high already because of the massive frame, so I don't plan on lifting it. Any advice? Do you think it will be a fairly simple project?
I have a 95 crew cab dually with a 12v Cummins swap I’m looking to do the SAS swap next I have the axle I was told I’d have to modify or fab up a new trans crossmember so the front drive shaft would clear I’m only gonna go about 6” maybe a little less so I can still tow gooseneck and 5th wheel so just curious if the trans crossmember was an issue for you
Trevor Stringer I went with the super duty 60 for a couple of reasons. First off I found this axle for 250 dollars. Secondly running this axle means I could retain the factory transfer case. And lastly it’s because the axle was already set up for coil springs and there is a lot of support for the axle.
So I’m new to the sas build community and I was wondering if you could give me a list of things you gotta do from start to finish I can’t find solid answers anywhere.
Im wanting to do front SAS for my 2000 Silverado 2500 z71 and I know im a little late lol but just an estimate what was the entire price of the SAS? Did you have a shop do it?
@@Jcrit96 Thanks for the reply. I've been looking all over the internet for any information on how to set up a radius-arm and this is a huge help, thank you.
•A solid axle is stronger than an independent axle because the torque load is straight out to the wheels instead of angled cv axles on lifted IFS vehicles. •They are simpler to lift than IFS •Ball joints tend to last much longer on solid axles because they have less motion applied to them •Steering tie rods are usually much bigger on solid axle setups There are many more pros to having a solid axle but there are also some cons. •Normally the ride quality is alittle worse •Solid axle swaps can cost much more that IFS lifts •Drive shafts have much more flex applied to them
I recommend getting the height set where you like it then weld the adjustable part to the frame as well for added strength. I just recently had to do that to mine.

Very nice looking truck my friend... fantastic work
You’ve basically built my dream truck, color and everything. Awesome build! Any future plans?
Keegan Boyle thanks! I plan on installing a Lsa blower in the future. And possibly some other surprises!
Doing this to my old 6.5 nv4500 k3500 cclb is on the bucket list and potentially swapping in a 05 f350 rear axle too for completeness
I've always wanted to try a single leaf spring with coil springs over the axle , the single leaf spring would act as the 5 link radius arms holding the axle in place only while the coil spring would do the actual work.
Nice thorough presentation, well done!
Wow what a nice friendly intro 👏🏽🙌
Great job on the truck- and the video! 90% of people and videos get on my damn nerves but not you or yours, Thanks" now I know it's not me. Subscribed
Heck you could build the brackets too.
Jealous of the crew cab and coils. Awesome truck man!
Badass truck man. Really love those obs crew cabs
ryan king thanks man!
Next take us for a drive add tell us how it goes down the road. Amazing truck btw!
That thing is wicked sick!
Nice truck , you did a great job !
Thanks!
Nice video I’ll be doing this next year on my 98 crew cab very informative
Mr117nick awesome! I’m glad I could help out!
If or whenever i get a truck like that im giving it to him to build lol, that shit is awesome
Thats a clean ass undercarriage man 👍👍👍
Drew Tarver thanks! I spent a ton of time on it!
Gosh damn thats a lot of work. Looks like a good job
Thank you. This helps.
Looks so good with a solid axle
I like that frame plate wish I woulda done that real nice rig man!! I love having an older Chevy that's better than these 60000 trucks they buy any way u can see mine on my channel like what you did !!
I love this truck
Happy thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving!
That's really nice set up
Great job ! but that's a lot of work I think I'll stick to IFS ! 😆
Planning to solid axle my old 89
Keep going bro... It's 2020 I'm buying a ex cab Silverado to build just my wife an I. Let's see some videos
Landon Cline I’m working on it! Thanks for the push! I’m working two jobs right now so I’m trying to find time to video
Im a body man for a living an these are the videos I watch to learn about the trade
Do you still have the truck
Yes I still have the truck
Looks good man but your missing carter pins in ball joint screw 👍
Sosa Billy thanks for looking out for me 👍🏼
Sick truck I'm also doing a SAS. I just don't like the different bolt pattern options. I'm not crazy about wheel adapters
J Sanchez yea I’m not crazy about adapters either that’s why I red tulles my hubs.
Sorry to hear that's
nice job man, probably rides way better than a leaf sprung sas, no clearance issues with the top of the housing and frame when flexing?
TORN MOTO no clearance issue so far! Thanks man!
I just bought a 98 k1500 that has a solid axle swap i believe from a 3500 ram, I have no idea what its for, could you give input to what this does and does this mean 4x4 does not work on these trucks anymore?
Realy helpfull. Im pondering doing this to a 2000 chevy 1500 axt cab and im doing as much research as posible so any information is helpfull.
Are you located in South Carolina? I swear I saw this truck at a public landing at Lake greenwood this last weekend. Debating swapping my 96 k1500 and wouldn't mind getting some ideas from ya if so
Yessir that was me! Ask away
nice truck
Just need a aftermarket steering shaft 🤘🏼😉
Derek Michael I already have your custom steering shaft 😎
Ohh yea lol I can’t keep track anymore lol

Find us on Facebook gm400 crew cabs there's alot of us.great group of guys. Lot of parts swapping too
Gary Hayes I would but I do not use my Facebook anymore.
@@Jcrit96 yeah it took me a while to get back on it
Those Clear view mirrors base to the door What are the Diagmentions please
Damn MAN..
What size of wheels and tires are on your truck now and is there a different tire and combo you would like to change too
In the video it has 20x14s and 35 13.50 20s
Currently it has 20x 12 and 35 12.50s
It looks alittle taller with the narrower wheels
Amazing truck just one question why did you go with a ford Dana 60 Instead of a Chevy Dana 60?
Trevor Stringer I went with the super duty 60 for a couple of reasons. First off I found this axle for 250 dollars. Secondly running this axle means I could retain the factory transfer case. And lastly it’s because the axle was already set up for coil springs and there is a lot of support for the axle.
Nice
How about your ABS system? Did you adapt the F350 axle to work with the factory ABS system or ditch it altogether?
DanteGTZ I ditched the abs and used a willwood proportioning valve
@@Jcrit96 interesting.
So I’m new to the sas build community and I was wondering if you could give me a list of things you gotta do from start to finish I can’t find solid answers anywhere.
Hey man you mean like a step by step of how to complete it?
hey guy is this truck smoother on gravel than the original suspension
and did this front axle have a 4.10 gear?
Yes smoother than turned up keys for sure
What color gray is it?
i think its gunmetal grey
Did you end up getting a rear drive shaft made? Get rid of carrier bearing
I haven’t yet but I’m going to
With this axle under this truck do you have to cut the coil spring mount on the axle to move it over to mine up with the frame?
No it actually lined up great!
What kind of axle do you recommend for a 1995 Chevy Silverado k1500 extended cab?
Are you wanting to wheel or just lift and keep the front end together?
@@Jcrit96 both
Im wanting to do front SAS for my 2000 Silverado 2500 z71 and I know im a little late lol but just an estimate what was the entire price of the SAS? Did you have a shop do it?
I did the swap my self and i have around 4k in parts and around 40 hours of my own labor.
What master cylinder did you use for the bigger breaks in the front
Brendan Dutton I used a 2003 suburban master cylinder and a willwood proportioning valve
What are the wheel specs? I’m thinking of running a similar wheel on my 91 suburban 1 ton but idk about that much backspacing
20x 12 -44 offset
do you know where i can get a set of bucket i cant seem to find them anywhere and like you said riot fab is non existent anymore 🤯
Try these www.vividracing.com/-p-152422688.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt_uH77eZ6wIVArbICh1-qwiPEAQYAyABEgJAavD_BwE
Can the Fenders and front end from a 1500 work on the k3500?
Mario Wood - Martinez I don’t see why they wouldn’t they are the same other than the 3500 ones have holes for the fender flares.
@@Jcrit96 okay, I'm going to give it a try. Just got my 96 GMC 3500
Can you get a drop pitman arm to help with the angle? And how does it articulate now?
Vince Fairleigh yea I have a 4 in drop pitman arm already. It articulates decent but will be better once I add the high steer arm.
@@Jcrit96 it would help alot cause I have a high steer kunckles turns better and gets no bumper steer
Can you do a start up? Drive?
Christopher Gonzales I have uploaded a new video with a startup and drive
What calculator did you use for the radius-arm length and angles?
Random_Car_Guy_01 anything under 6 in I’d use a 3 foot lower. Mine is about 8 in and I used a 4 foot lower.
@@Jcrit96 Thanks for the reply. I've been looking all over the internet for any information on how to set up a radius-arm and this is a huge help, thank you.
Hey what’s your max tow rating at the bumper?
Hey give me a reply back if possible got a quick question I'd like to ask you! Thanks in advance!
What’s up man
What is the advantage of a solid axle swap?
•A solid axle is stronger than an independent axle because the torque load is straight out to the wheels instead of angled cv axles on lifted IFS vehicles.
•They are simpler to lift than IFS
•Ball joints tend to last much longer on solid axles because they have less motion applied to them
•Steering tie rods are usually much bigger on solid axle setups
There are many more pros to having a solid axle but there are also some cons.
•Normally the ride quality is alittle worse
•Solid axle swaps can cost much more that IFS lifts
•Drive shafts have much more flex applied to them
How much did you sas conversion cost?
Where is episode 1?
Jack's Son it’s on my channel
90s
?
Hey could you send me a link for those adjustable coil buckets ?
www.ballisticfabrication.com/products/adjustable-coil-buckets
Thanks and how have they held up any issues with them ?
I recommend getting the height set where you like it then weld the adjustable part to the frame as well for added strength. I just recently had to do that to mine.
Thanks I was actually thinking the same thing weld it all up after it’s set
Did you have to switch your master cylinder over to the nbs for the brakes on that 60 ?
What kind of mirrors you have partner?
the Duke I am running some Chevy tow mirrors that are for my truck. I got them from eBay
Awesome thank you for quick response. Been wanting to upgrade mine. You’re Truck is looking good 👍🏻💪🏻
How much do you have in the SAS? Money wise.
dylan pennington i have about 3500 in my solid axle swap.
Whst axle are you using?
It’s a super duty Dana 60
Rate
Would the Chevy pitman arm work on super duty axle
Danny Lemay you have to use a cross over steering style pitman arm
What did this cost you?
Liam Applegath I probly have 3k in the axle swap
Question for ya buddy
Brian Saucegod what’s up
Jcrit96 could u private message me ?
Brian Saucegod dm me on Instagram @jcrit96
Comment
offroad design makes a kit for 88 and up
Jacob Martin not for a coil spring setup
Don't understand the tires sticking out so far... Looks dumb ass hell
so you took ford parts to make that chevy better the only way its a real truck
