I've been reading throughout pirate and others forums for the past few weeks on SAS'ing my OBS Tahoe...most guys are running 6"+ overall lift with the conversion on springs.
My truck is going to be an expedition rig and I'd like to keep lift 4-6" to retain greater highway driveability (i.e. stability, gas mileage, etc) on a set of 35" tires.
If/when I go forward with the SAS, I found a '79 Ford HP60, 205t case and 14ff I'm going to use. I know the 60 is overkill for 35's and mild offroading, but I will be remote and breaking down could be a big $$ investment if a field repair is not possible.
I'm going with custom alcan springs (discussing this with them now), but I'd like to know if you guys think such a small lift is possible and what potential problems I'll run into.
