Hey all, A buddy of mine has a bunch of issues with his IFS on his 2002 1500 5.7, and I was throwing the idea of an SAS at him. Has anyone done this on this truck? If so do you have any pointers or build threads I can reference? I was thinking of using the front clip from a 2001 1500 (stock solid front axle) and welding up the control arms, etc etc, but i'd like to get some reading material so i can research it better. He's a welder and I built machinery for a few years so between the two of us, we should have the chops to pull this off if it's worthwhile.
Also, how much do you think a shop would charge for the labour on this?
He uses his truck off road quite a bit, so we're trying to find out how much headache and cost is involved compared to just fixing what's already in there, and the cost of replacing the other breakage-prone IFS components when they eventually wear out too. Don't need any smart ass posts, useful information will be just fine
Cheers! :beer
