so theres no reason why you wont be at the lightning kill fest then is there :lol:
Oh my Illya that's gonna be what my 4-year old son calls a monster truck.
i dont think they will have it all done in 2 weeks, realistically it may be more like 6 weeks, they are a small shop and are very busy. im not in a hurry for it anyways, i mean its been 12 years now since ive been wanting to do this lolQuote:

SFA needs 40s min. or it ain't worth it in my opinion
awesome love sas cant wait to see it!
I have some SS brake lines and a pitman arm that where going to be used for a SAS, forsale. Oh and also have a Lightning that still has never been killed by a Chevy.
problem with that is the cost of tires, just jumping from 37 to 38s is a huge price increase.Quote:

so i changed a solenoid in the trans and put a deep pan on. somehow :hyper2: i ended up spilling like a gallon of tranny fluid all over the driveway lol
huge mess, cleaning it was more work then the work on the truck, so undertaking an axle swap would be a complete disaster for me im sure.
the guy doing it has done many, is probably one of the best fab guys around and he is giving me a good deal with everything.
so for the labor cost its very well worth it to me to have it done right and not in my driveway.
I with ya. Pay a pro to do it. If I did an axle swap. An axle would fall out from under my truck.
I would even pay someone for a solid axle swap if I wanted one. :lol:
