What are the benefits of the swap?

So is that the steering link rod going over top of the leaf spring...? and the drag link going under...?

That seems like it could be a problem with flex.

Nice build by the way.

nope, drag link on top of leafs, tie rod underneath. tie rod flex's with axle so no issue there, and i measured everything out on the drag link and that wont hit the leafs under full articulation. so its all good

I've been wanting to ask this question since you started your build thread... What the hell does SAS mean? and is it like S. A. S. or is it like a full word? haha. But anyway, the truck looks good. I like it. I'd put the valance back on if you can. but it's still a pretty tits truck man.

i know on jeeps the shackles are on the front. i thought it was for axle movement under flex but not positive on that one. any reason you mounted yours in the back?
and the truck looks sweet.

Looks freaking sweet!!!!

I'm pretty sure with the shackles in the back, it'll have better ride quality.

Think about going over a bump, the axle can travel backwards and over. Otherwise it would have to go forward and over. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's right lol
