NBS Half Ton SFA

[SilveradoLQ9]

does anyone have any pics of a half ton? Or has anyone done a half ton? I am going to do mine very soon, is the only company that makes a half ton kit, Fabritech? As far as the t-case goes what are guys doing with the autotrac? I really would like some feedback, doing it no matter what, but info is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Swap to a 241 or a 243 to get rid of the 246. Stephen did one, but he built his own hanagers.

off road direct is coming out with NBS SAS kits for a little over 500 bucks. i just emailed them and their tweakin a few things on the kits and got me to send them some pictures of my undercarriage to look at a 99 exhaust. youre gonna need a new transfer case

You will have to swap out the autotrac for a 241 and do a floor shift or keep the electric and do a 243. On a side note the front driveshaft for the 241 will be cheaper than the 243.

Fabritech is about the only people with a kit out for the NBS 1/2 ton at the moment.
Last time I talked to ORU and they have no plans to make one for the NBS 1/2ton trucks.

you act like this new kit is gods gift to sas... im not a fan of it and personaly wouldnt recomend it for just a bolt situtation id realy like to get specs on metal and tube thickness etc.. it doesnt come with backing plates and the mounting situation scares me, not to mention the shackle look paper thin from the pics

ORD... lol ill stick with my ORD thank you very much, this new one is okie to me

[hootdocta5]

what the hell does that mean? its the same thing. im not actin like this kit is great , everybody just askin about straight axle kits so im lettin them know about that kit cause it cost less than other ones. i personally wouldnt get any straight axle kit, i was just tellin people about it, i never said it was any count so stop being a dick

[Cajun4x4]

uhh i wasnt trying to be a dick, i was stating my opinion on the kit...

and the other ORD i speak of is offroaddesign, who has quality beefy proven parts

[hootdocta5]

well you came off as one, i was just answerin the guys question by tellin him another place taht sells them. nowhere did i say how good it was, i would konw and i really dont care. you said i act like this kit was all great, i never said that because Ive never seen it, so i dont think i should be able to make comments about it like you, you talk about some of the brackets look paper thin and this and that, but you wouldnt know because youre lookin at it over a computer screen and you dont even have a SAS so how are you gonna know what is good or not.

[BeastZ71]

just get a cepek kit it is better than sfa

[bggrnchvy]

Totally bra! The Cepek 9" kit is way cooler than anything else out

ok to you maybe i came off as one... but to me you came off as loving this kit so stop your bickering. im aware pics on the internet can be deceiving thats why i would like to know some particulars about it. and about my knowledge, how much time have you researched into doing sas, from what you said in a previous post probably not to much, so dont make gd acusations and talk to me like i dont have a firm grasp on what im talking about. im well aware i currently dont have a sfa on my truck, and that doesnt mean jack $hit about what i do and do not know

and just lol at the nbs cepek comment

if you have a problem take it up with PMs... lets get this thread back on track

After going back and looking at the kit and realizing what I thought were backing plates and tie-ins for the front hanagar were actualy dual shocks mounts(wtf?) Im definitely not liking that other kit much myself, tweakage offcamber I see. Its not a bad starting point though if it actually does fit well.

There was another kit posted somewhere, it had a neat idea built in of movable rear shackle mouting points off the same plate bolted in. Very cool to adjust shackle angle just right for different springs.

There, there's a guy with an SFA's opinion.

Why exactly does the transfer case need to be swapped out?? Is it because its a full time type case??

IMO, the hardest part of an SFA swap is finding a decent donor axle. Buiding the brackets is cake.

yes, it will need to be swapped because the drive shaft spins all the time and being witht he hubs unlocked the teh tcase will be turning the differential and the shafts, it will burn up an autotrac case fairly quickly. and an added bonus is a more reliable/ stronger case than the horrible 246

Hes already talking to a guy with a D60 and 14FF. So hes got that covered.
