custom sas on my 87 ranger

[Fabricator]

Hey all I'm starting my sas on my 87 Ford ranger this is a budget build so almost everything is gonna be used. So far I got the truck in the garage and the old 2wd ibeams out now I gotta grind the rivets off of the upper shock and spring housing and remove it. Well if anyone's got some other ideas or some advice ill need all the help I can get.

Start a photoshop and upload some pics. More info on axles, rad arms, ...... Budget? mine started as a budget build and im way over my budget. Good luck with your build! What kills a budget is all the extra bolts, brake lines shocks, bushings, random crap you don't think of. Best thing to do is read everybody's threads to see what worked best for them and use the info from all to build your truck. Take lots of pics!

hey all sorry for not gettin back to this in a while ive been workin on the truck and so far i got switched up a little bit from the leaf sprung dana 30 to a coil sprung dana 44 out of a 79 bronco. im goin full width with my swap now so im kinda flustered with what rear i wanna go with now between a ford 9.75 and a gm 12 bolt. also how did yall who did the coil spring swap space out the front coil towers from the frame. pics to come.

Neither axle will match your front D44. IF you want a full width to match your front, go get an 8.8 or a 9" from a full size Bronco or F150 out of the wrecking yard.

There is a whole thread on it. Search it, there are mixed results. There is no guaranteed number.
