Budget SAS.

Pickup front axle, matching 8" diff with same ratio as rear, pickup steering box, lifted leaf springs (or shackles, sump will hit axle without 3+" of lift.), shock hoops, shocks, Fab front and rear spring mounts, torque arm mount, front prop.

'Proper' SAS

Pickup front axle, matching 8" diff, IFS steering box, crossover steering kit, lift springs/shackles, shock hoops, shocks, u-bolt flip kit, steering stabilser, front and rear spring mounts, front prop, pair of wheel spacers for the rear axle, torque arm mount, (Solid axles are wider than IFS, so the rear wheels won't match the front without spacers)

The big difference between the two is the crossover steering, the problem with the stock Toy set up is with any sort of lift, the steering link rod is so short that when the axle is fully drooped on the that side, your steering is at full lock, but the wheels are pointing straight ahead, crossover stereing get rid of this problem, but adds lots of cash to the bill, but worth doing is you can afford it, and the truck won't leap around going over pot holes on the road (bump steer), and offroad manners are far better.

You can gain a little lift by lowering the front spring mounts from the chassis, this also negates the tipping down effect longer shackles have on the rear of the front diff.

How many of these parts can be borrowed from a doner truck? I won't be doing this straight away, just thinking long term. Deciding whether to save up for 4" standard lift kit, or go crazy and have solid axle and leaf spring.
