I am new to this site and I tried to search but the search was not working. My buddy has a 2000 ZR2 S10 that we would like to do a SAS in. I have never seen a ZR2 S10 with a live axle in the front. Has anyone done this before? I and my buddy have been welding for about 4 years now and we have built 3 sets of rockrails and 3 bumpers as well as homebrew lift kits so we feel that we can tackle the axle swap. We are looking for some suggestions, pics and so on.

Thank You !

Search Google. There is plenty of info on this.

im using and dana 44 out of a78 ford bronco with 10in superlift springs (coil) on the front of mine i aint got mine under the truck yet but that would prob be ur best way to go less u wanna keep it chevy then ull have to change the transcase

10" coils are gonna be waaaaaaaaaay too high.

not to mention stiff as hell! i am using stock tj coils. they are fairly soft.

I'm using 4.5" lift RE coils for a ZJ. 37" tires for now. will be going COs and 42s this winter.

coilovers are better! haha we used a set of TJ 6" springs on a buddies S10, they worked well.

Has anyone done a wright up on a SAS for a ZR2? We want to leaf springs in the front. Any help would be great. I have serched on a few sites but cant seem to find what I am looking for unless I am a member.

There is also some good info and several trucks to look at on S10forum.com and S10extremist.org. There isn't really to much to it, just do your homework before you start.

WOW, I didn't notice the time frame either, he should have had it done a few times by now.

There is a very good build thread on an S-10 in here with leaf springs!
Came out real nice, he used dana 44's on both ends as I recall.

Donahue is the guy you wana talk to about the kit.. he posted on that page..unfortunately, our kit will not work with the zr2 frames, they are not the asymmetrical monstrosity that the normal s10 frames are.

whats the difference between the zr2 frame and the normal s10 frame?
