Post by muddyplumber »

have a read through the link above there are about 5 pages i think, its very very far from instructions for your big horn but it should give you an idea of the sort of work involved.

There are lots of different ways of doing a SAS on the Isuzu. Check out madterrano's write up on here. There are a few write ups on club isuzu also and lots of helpful people there. It was relatively easy with good advice and help. We did ours cheaply the whole SAS cost us less then an ARB locker, but google it and you'll see people who have spent big $$$. We are still in the build stage, but happy to answer any questions.
