I have been thinking about doing an SAS on my pick-up. I have a question. What company makes the best hardware/kit? I have heard of All Pro and been thinking buying from them but I have never heard anything about them! Any other info is great!
Thanks

 

I'm using the kit from Marlin Crawler. I have some of the parts sitting in my garage right now and they look to be great quality. Also their customer service is great. Unfortunately they forgot to ship the shackle tubes when they shipped the other parts. I called them and they took care of it right away, no questions asked.

The blue-ish/green-ish '94 truck on Marlin's SAS page is a friend of mine. He put the kit on over the summer and it works awesome.

 

Although I dont have first hand experience, I hera that Malins stuff is top-notch!

 

If I had it to do over again, I'd buy Marlin's stuff over All Pro's in a heart beat, strictly on reputation, but at the time Marlin didn't offer a kit like I wanted. The problem is that Marlin doesn't offer everything that All Pro does, so there are some things that I'd still use All Pro for. Don't get me wrong, All Pro is good, but I think Marlin is better overall in attitude, service and quality.

 

Fab it yourself and save a few hun. But, if you do want to buy, sky manufacturing has a nice looking kit for a nice price.

 

deffinitly marlincrawler. mine has been through all kindas stuff so far with no probs. everything fit correctly and works properly.

 

if your interested in a kit i can make you one up just shot me a pm or email..can see some products at www.bigcountrycustoms.com...

 

with marlin crawlers sas, the front is lifted 4 inches......more than likely you'll want to redo the rear as well, which is a 5 inch lift. whats that allow you to clear, 35's im assuming? also, with the marlin kit, everything is included BUT the axle (and everything involved with upgrading that) and front driveshaft, is that correct? order the kit, get your axle, regear, locked, order the driveshaft and your good?

 

marlins kit will lift 5.5 inchs. the hanger and shackles will lift it 1.5 inchs the springs are good for 4inchs. the kit comes with all the stuff for the swap but not any axle stuff. just rotors,spcers and highsteer. i clear 35 mtrswith no problems on mine. i have sky spacers and 4 inch bs wheels.

what you need to do the job correctly is

swap kit
driveshaft
regear,look and rebuild axle
driveshaft

expect te ft to be high when first installed it will take a bit for the springs to settle. i ran mine minus 2 lower springs till they settled then added one spring back into the pack. i was not running a winch at that point so ft en was kinda tall. if you want measurements let me know ill get some off he truck
