    Extended all the way for a wheeler/ driver. It will give better flex and drive good.

    Look for a used set, there are 5 stages of Fords and you want to find someone between stage 2 and 3.

    Stages of fords:

    1. Perfectly fine and capable daily driver
    2. Light mod/ lift kit, still drivable
    3. SAS pretty capable, mostly driveable
    4. Extreme mod'ed and cut, sometimes trail-able
    5. scrap yard

    My advice since it is a DD is to do a 3-4" good quality TTB kit, 35s, a rear locker, a front bumper, rear hitch for a recovery point, and have fun with. Going with the TTB kit will mean less down time than doing a SAS. Most all of that could be done in a weekend, and you will get out cheaper for now.

    From what I remember from my TTB days, Dick Cepek made a pretty good kit. I am not sure if Clarke's had the extended arms or not. I had a Rancho 4" and was pleased with it. You could do drop brackets for now and get the extended arms when you get some more cash.

    SAS'ing with a 44 seems like a waste of time and resources to me. If you are going to do it, do it right with a 60. If you can not afford a 60 right now, then wait until you can.

    Does the Cepek kit have extended radius arms or drop down brackets?

    drop brackets. although for wheeling the extended arms are far superior, when it comes to driving a vehicle on the road everyday, ide try and keep as many stock parts on it as possible. plus the kits with extended arms are $$$

    I disagree with this point when it comes to drop brackets. drop brackets have an advantage in keeping some geometry the same but increase lever-arms thereby multiplying the force. I have broke radius arm drop brackets before.

    you gotta think though, this kid is going to be driving everyday in this thing and i doubt he will be doint any serious wheeling until he goes with a sas. For the time being, to save money on a lift and tire wear(we r talking about ttb i know) and do make me some green, drop brackets are the way to go
