sorry fellas not a lot of pics of SAS swap. really we just went for it. it took as about an hour or so to get all IFS stuff out, then we spent next day grinding mouting brackets for Aarms, boy Isuzu didn't mess around with those, they are PIA to grind off, goes quicker if you have access to plasma cutter, once that was done fab started, we had mishap with getting wrong axle from the fella that sold us one, instead of getting a narrowtrack waggy axle he sent us a widetrack which is about 3-4" longer, so we as dumbasses never bothered to check, we rebuilt it, put it under the truck and went "oh :pokinit:". got correct axle and after that it was smooth sail. once I snap some photos I will post up. as it is right now it works really good, I am happy, those front springs are sagging, they are wrangler rear springs 4.5", can't support my V6 and winch/bumper combo, as they are working really good on my buds Amigo, similar setup, SUA as well, but he doesn't have winch and he only has Isuzu 2.6 4popper. I am already debating on what I want to do for my next time around, lot of ideas flowing, might even do fullwidth axles on some 36's or larger, to be honest I love overkill on everything just like my bud that has helped me build it, therefore I might go for Rockwells 2.5 toploaders, likely be the last set of axles I will ever buy, they are heavy suckers though, have that great 6.72.1 r&p ratio, and I am thinking some 44's. as it is my truck already has 150000 miles, it is no longer DD, and I will be fine trailering it, defineilty can hammer on it more than I do now, as I wouldn't have to worryabout whether it is going to make it back home. sorry for the long post,  look forward to catch up with u on the trails, my dream is to wheel Rubicon in near future.
