Default Solid axle kits?

I have seen them on chevys and on rams, would it be possible to modify a solid axle kit for our trucks? Just curious, because some of those after market set ups look so nice.

There are no direct kits. So yes you can put on solid axle under your tuck. And yes if you get a universal kit you could make it work.

95_318SLT has a great on going write up on his SAS. Several more in the FAQ2.

From my experience with my project, you would be better off custom building your own front suspension and steering systems than trying to make something designed for another truck fit.

If you haven't seen my thread yet, check my signature links and read through what I'm doing.
