Found out today that the IFS on my Duramax is going to need a complete rebuild sometime in the next year or two.
Priced things out and all the needed parts are going to costs ~600-700.
Decided to finally pull the trigger and do the SAS conversion.
I've sourced an 05 Dodge 2500 front axle locally for pretty cheap, and am going to call/order up more parts tomorrow. I've calculated the cost to come out somewhere around $1500 for the conversion, so it's not too terrible!
Hoping to get the ball rolling on the conversion this next weekend - most of the parts are coming from a local shop (Ruff-Stuff) which specializes in carrying parts needed to build anything you can imagine.
