1988 SAS build - need advice for beginning

Got stuck on the torsion bars. Having trouble getting the adjustment bolt off. Hopefully tonight. Do you guys cut and grind those mounts as well?

Unbolted the ifs steering box then realized it needs to stay put. Doh!!

**edit. This damn I phone makes me look like I write at a 3rd grade level. I swear I'm smart guys. Damn autocorrect.

I left the torsion bar boxes, didn't see any reason to cut them out. Man, grinding all that shit smooth after cutting it out was the worst...

Keep the good work, it's all worth it in the end.

Got it. I'm no stranger to a grinder, but one less chunk to smooth out while laying on my back is a good thing.

Did you decide on the Trailgear lift? Does it have a brace for the steering box? They like to rip out of the frame if you don't brace it. I used a kit from Front Range Offroad that worked well.

Look into shoving that box forward into the core support, too. With the box in the stock location you can end up with your tie rod and drag link getting in a fight every time your drivers side stuffs. Here's a pic of mine, with the steering box shoved as far forward as I could get it without cutting the core support, and they barely clear each other. I wish I'd put it in the core support in the first place. I want to move my axle forward on the springs for better stuffage, but I'll have to move my steering box again first.

I'm not following for sure, you mean getting the box farther into the frame towards the pass side?

And yes I'm going trail gear. I emailed the guy you told me about. I'll be paying tomorrow if I hear from him.

No he is talking about pushing the steering box FORWARD from the stock location, like I mentioned. I recommend moving it as far as it will go against the body mount and welding a steering box mount kit in. You will have to drill new holes but you might as well do it now instead of wishing you did later.

No, like ajohnson said. The farther forward (towards the front of the truck) you can mount the steering box, the more room you have to shove the axle forward before your tie rod and drag link start intefering with eachother. Pushing the axle forward gives you more wheelbase, a better approach angle, and gives you more room to fit big tires without having to resort to tubbing the firewall. You'll have to check to be sure, but I think the Trailgear springs are actually set up to mount the axle a couple inches forward from the get-go, so I recommend actually cutting a hole in the core support above the body mount to get that box as forward as possible. And yeah, you definitely want a frame brace if the Trailgear kit doesn't have one. The steering puts enough torque on the IFS box to tear it out of the frame if you don't plate it first, happens all the time. Here's the kit I used.

I got it now.

Yeah the trail gear kit comes with a frame brace, and they recommend moving the axle forward on the v6 to clear the oil pan too.

^ Yup, my axle is about 3" forward and my tie rod JUST clears the pan on full bump/lock.

The trail gear SAS kit does not come with the steering box plates that they are referring to. The TG classic front lift does come with it tho.
