Well since you guys asked for more pics of the SAS on the Tahoe and specs, I figured I would start a new thread to keep the "fullsize rigs" post clean. So, where to start. I will list what is has and then post the pics. Start:
-95 Tahoe
-350 TBI motor with power bowl, 1 inch spacer, stock rest
-Offroad Design Motor Mounts for 88-98 trucks
-Hooker Headers
-Full mandrel bent 2 1/2 exhaust with dual cats, dual magnaflows, and a H-Pipe behind T-case
-NV4500 swap with LUK pro-gold clutch
-NP241 with JB conversions Slip yoke eliminator and driveline e-brake from highangledriveline
-Front and rear 1350 CV driveshafts with 1350 at the axles
-Rear 14 bolt full float with 4.56s and open, Offroad Design Disk Brake kit
-Offroad Design traction bar for a 73-91 K5 blazer, perfect fit to factory crossmember
-Front 78 Dana 44 High Pinion with 4.56s and open, hybrid of ford centers, early gm knuckles (flat tops) and late model gm outers (internal hubs)
-Trail ready HD17 beadlocks, 17X8.5 with 4.5" backspacing and have not leaked a bit for almost a year now
-37x12.50 BFG Mud Terrains KM2s
-LightForce 170 Strikers wired in with the OEM harness
-ARB bullbar with M12000
-1 inch body lift from Offroad Design
-Temporary rear bumper made of 2X6 tube
-Line-X Bedliner on Rocker panels
-Interior is sound deadened with dynamat, dynafoam
-Carpet was replaced with Vinyl Flooring
-Medium Duty GM truck handles
-Factory New Bucket seats and console installed instead of 60/40
-20% Tint to match Factory rear glass
-Dual Optima Yellow Tops in Factory trays with 2 gauge wire and military terminals
-Updated interior lights to 96-99 domes
-Later Model Steering Wheel
-10 Inch Subwoofer hidden behind interior panel (Sorry need some to sleep to or wake up)
-Removed ABS and AIR bag SRS systems
-New APEUSA 190L/HR fuel pump
-Offroad Design brake lines all around
-SUSPENSION (what everyone wants to know)
-Rear is stock Springs with Offroad Design Shacle Flip and Offroad Design zero rate to center in wheel well
-Rear shocks are 2 bilstein 7100 short body 14" travel with 275/80 valving
-Rear Polyurethane bumpstomps
-Front is Offroad Unlimited SAS hangers and Spring plates
-Offroad Design custom springs through Alcan for the Tahoes weight and lengths (266 lb/in at 48.5" long with 1 inch forward axle mount)
-1 1/4 Sway bar from Stock Car Products
-4 Bilstein 7100 short body 14" travel with 170/60 valving
-Polyurethane bumpstops
-Steering is Stock box with Offroad Design Pitman arm, Drag Link, and steering arm for Dana 44
-All bushings and mounts are polyurethane
Stephen at Offroad Design knows what I did and has the recipe for my springs, if any of you want info on my swap you can write me or call him. He is a great guy looking to get away from just hardcore rock crawling and into this area. He started on his blazer looking to just camp and now it is a buggy. He is looking for marketable ideas in the expo rig area.
...OK so now pics
