Thanks sir. They are 4" lift springs. I imagine it's possible to run a stock spring but I think you would have to look into the triangulated 3 link style just for clearance. Check out wfo they pretty much have everything to straight axle these

thanks for the info, and yeah I've talked with the boys at WFO, knowledgeable guys with great products. looking forward to some more pics of your build

What are you doing for the front drive shaft? I have an '06 2500HD Duramax that you now have me thinking of doing this...

Stock shaft with an offset u joint. There is numerous ways of doing it but this is the most simple and cheapest. The other thing would be slip yoke eliminator at the tcase and run a new d line

Another question about this. For the ford axle, did you use all the stock ford steering links?

Yes factory ford steering. Wfo sells a tapered pitman arm that is made for it

I have an 06 duramax and spend most of my time on duramaxforum.com but came across your sas thread while doing some research for my future project. Super clean man! I was planning to do the same thing using 05+ ford axle with ford coil buckets and whatnot. I'm also located in marysville, I would love to check out your setup some day and to maybe pick your brain about what all you used. I've been looking at WFO's stuff and like I said, your setup is exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks in advance!
