Ill start off by saying, sorry if this has been asked already. Im haveing trouble finding my way around this site. That being said.... I want to s.a.s. my B2 I already found a dana 30 thats been set up for the bronco spring perches have already been relocated.

My question is, is there any aftermarket help for doing s.a.s. Like spring hangers, steering, shackles etc.... Ive never done a s.a.s. on anything so any advice would help. I was thinking i really only want to run 33's will 4.88 gears. Deff want to do the 8.8 swap. Witch brings up another question, how about the rear springs any recomendations? Im guessing around 4.5-5" of lift. Thanks guys!:icon_thumby:

Ruffstuff makes great products for an sas. However you have to know what you want/need, they don't have "kits".

Ok I'll look into it thanks!
My list so far is:
Spring hangers, shackles, shackle mounts, and shock hoops. The axle already has steering 4.88s, Aussie locker. Gotta find the 8.8 and some kind of springs

Stock pitman arm is fine. For leafs look into YJ lift packs.

I have the YJ springs under my 88. They are good and flexy but I have put a helper spring in them as they sagged a little. They could have been worn out before I got them or maybe it is the weight of the 4.0 over them.

Yeah yj springs seems like the way to go for the front. How about the rear? I want something flexy?
