A solid-axle 4dr to drool over:

Have you guys seen this article in the Off-Rod web magazine? This is one trail-ready Tahoe! Guess I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for a couple of HD axles now. This seems like a great idea, having a kit for an SAS. Check it out:

The flex they demonstrate in the second article is just insane, who knew vehicles with such long wheelbases could make good crawlers?

They used the Fabworx's kit on that truck. Fabworx's makes some good SFA kits for these year trucks/suv's

I just priced this out for what I would pay for MY dream SAS (roughly):

-GM SAS Kit, pair of 63" Atlas leaf-springs, pait of 52" Atlas leaf-springs, GM SAS Single-Shock Hoops, and the necessary U bolts all from Fabworx w/t+s = $2,507.60
-(4) FOA Resorvoir Shocks w/t+s = $848.00
-(5) Series 7033 Pro-Comp wheels w/t+s = $825.75
-(5) 35"x12.5"xR17" Dick Cepek Radian FC II tires = $1,661.30

......$5,842.65. Looks like I've gotta start saving my pennies.

Sky Manufacturing, Fabworx's and ORU all make Solid Axle Conversion Kits.
