For cost effectiveness wouldn't the 36" be preferred? I think those axles are dirt cheap compared to the 32" counter part. Doesn't make much difference here, just wondered what folks were thinking.

If you build it, the welders will come...
Out of the shop and start working on 60% of the DD's on this damn site lol.
Sounds good so far!

Yeah the 36" ford 60's are cheaper but, for me I think i would just use a chevy 60 and swap the t-case to passenger drop if I couldn't find a 32" pad Ford 60

Do you plan to offer both eventually?
Yep, we will be doing both. Just wanted to know which way to go first. Seems 32" is the route. Then we'd add the 36" and possibly the Abomb option for both of those after that depending on how that all comes together.

What springs will the kits use. Standard chevy front springs.
fyi if you want ideas from a 2wd frame and 56" springs look here.

Everyone that uses leafs seems to run 52s so that's what I would plan on using
Yeah 52's/56's I dont see any good reason to run 48's
I think multiple mounting holes on the front hangers would be cool I love that about the
A-bomb and none of the other SAS kits offer that

Running the 52's when doin a SAS makes it easier IMO.

So when are we going to get to see some "spy pics"?
Hard to say. Haven't been able to work on it this week.
Hey Kert, have you thought about doing a 99 and up truck? There is only one place that I know of that makes them and you have to run the 47" springs.

Yep, I'm sure we will at some point. Wish I could just go buy a new truck and do it.
If I was closer to you Id let ya do it to mine.
