Correct you are. I have thought about it and thought about it. For now its not worth my time/effort to go SAS. Eventually it may become something I'm interested in.

Well decided to scrap the rear 4-link project. I'm going to be pulling the factory block in the back here soon and tossing on a set of 2" DOM Traction bars that me and a few buddies are building.
To make sure I have a rear end to withstand all that power, I've been talking with Currie Enterprises to have them build me a Full Floating Custom Built Ford 9" using their 3.5" HD Axle Housing, Full Float outers with Wilwood Disc brakes, 35spl TruTrac and 4.56 gears(still undecided on gear ratio)

Got semi bags for the back of the truck. Designing up a 4-link setup currently. Also working with MMW for a set of custom spindles that fit the 1500 front end but use 08 2500hd hub and brake setup.
Also picked up a 14b FF rear thats torn apart and getting discs, gears, and a detroit

holy shit didn't see that coming. quite the truck your building.
if it helps, my friend has 4.88's on his tahoe and loves it. drivetrain is a 5.3HO whippled with a 6lb pully bolted to a built 4l80e. wheels/tires are 20x12's and 40x15.50 toyos.
i still think he should have gone with 5.13's for 40's even with all the power. but 4.56 is way too low for 40's

Yeah I'll be changing to 36x15.50 MTZs on 20x14 American Forces. Either Indepence SS Polished or Recon SS Polished. The 14bolt will probably get 4.56s for now so I can still tow with the gas engine until I change drivetrain completely and then swap down to 4.10s or maybe 3.73s.
I'm just ready to get this thing bagged, axle swapped, and new front spindles.
