It's not an easy job...

I agree it isn't easy, but it isn't impossible! A friend did a SAS on his S10 in 2 weeks time, but had all of the parts ordered up front.
They 2003 and up Dodge AAM Front axle is the correct width, has the right gearing, and has the differential on the correct side! Also uses the same size ABS sensor as my GMC, and the same tooth count, so I can keep my ABS. The brakes should work on that axle should work with my truck, as should the pitman arm - but would need to adapt it to my steering box, and make a swaybar. Found one of these locally for $750 as well!
