SAS is definitely in the future but I'd like to keep the IFS as long as possible since it's my daily driver right now till I get a second vehicle

 

G80 is the appitamy of garbage.

Ive rubuilt over 500 of the pos 8.6 rear ends.

Every one of those hunk of shit 1500's is worth $4000 in repairs to me. Get it the **** out now. Get a 2500ld 6lug 14bsf and put money into it.

246 tcases are clutch drive to the front axle, if you dont wipe the clutch pack out the rear case will get a hole in it and piss the fluid out, run dry, then wipe the entire case out.

The front axles will either shit the spiders or blow the axle housing in half.

Your list is litteraly 50%+ wasted money.

Build it right, now, not twice.

Thank you for the information but, I have parts already for the front end. if it dies I'll do the SAS.

 

speaking from past experience
keep it stock,do the pump rub tcase fix
find a 88-98 4wd 9.5inch 14b ,weld new spring perches and swap the 10b disk brakes on with a spacer/new mount welded on
save up for a 4L80 swap
get a 16ft trailer and find a built toyota

 

I rather go through the hardship of doing stuff the the chevy then get a yota I know they are very capable but, I'm to stubborn.

 

Before i linked my pos, i ran on the stock ifs. It was fine, until it suddenly wasn't...i was only running 33's. Blew two rear ends, destroyed a front, both cv shafts were toast, All ball joints were junk, all tie rods were trash, basically after a year or two of moderate wheeling everything needed to be replaced. That was when i knew that it was time to upgrade before sending more cash into the ifs bottomless pit... so i threw it in another bottomless pit that was far more satisfying.

 

do you have picture of your truck just for reference like a before and after? also, what your saying is either way they are bottomless pits just the sas is more fun to wheel with?

 

I'll definitely do the Tcase fix!

 

Your kryptonite list is way more than 500$. As others have said,don't waste money on the ifs. It will nickle and dime you to death. Start buying sas parts right now so you aren't tempted to upgrade that steaming pile of garbage.

Btw,if its your daily driver quit taking it on trails or you'll be driving a honda soon

 

I take on trails right now that are super easy. With the kryptonite I got the upper control arm to fix my current camber

 

^^^......And then after you fix that and the next trail ride you'll be fixing __ (fill in the blank). Seriously, as others have said, start stock piling SAS swap parts. Then when you have everything, you can swap it in a weekend. A SAS isn't uncharted waters, you're not the first, you won't run into gotchas. Don't waste money, effort, or time upgrading the IFS.....simply put, it's not worth it for a trail/overlanding rig.

 

As I said to someone else I plan to keep it as is once I put the current stuff I already have on it. I won’t do anything to serious. While collecting stuff for the SAS

 

I'm sure they would look fine. They probably will drive better as well. If you go with Dana 60/14 bolt they will be a little small for those big axles and offroad.

 

 

Holy smokes crazy build o.o

 

Holy shit its the ****ing frog!

Thought you were long time dead n gone.

 

Yea, so did I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Wheres the 4 axle rig pics?

 

here is one
