Re: What makes a daily driveable SAS?

I'd also like to say that I was really impressed with the way Sweater's SAS turned out.




Yes, his is a really good example i forgot to mention. Hats off to Sweater.

I'd also like to say that with the stock engine/tranny/tcase,




Very important when working with the stock driveline to consider front driveshaft length. Anything SOA and higher in the front, you'll be garenteed to have issues here (no matter how forward you move the axle). The stock isuzu driveline is short and lots of lift just makes it worse. Only through my dual tcase problem did i finally solve this for myself.

35-36" tires is probably the max size you'd be able to get away with.




Well, 5.38 gearing is possible in the D44, but as chris mentioned that would make for a relatively weak pinion, but nonetheless should be good for streeting around 37's at highway speeds. I run 5.13 (limited by my 14bff) which puts me pretty good for my 36's.
