Go to fullsizebronco.com, there are PLENTY of write ups on SAS there.
You are aware that the 77-79 has different (narrower) spring spacing and it's not a bolt in deal on an 80+ truck....... Don't you?

You might want to see if this guy is any where close to you, you both could try to save some cash by doing some trading. He is doing the opposite of you going from D44 to a TTB.

Just wanted to elaborate on this one, stosh. I did an SAS on my '83 F-150 a couple years ago, and it was 99% bolt on for me. The only thing I had to fabricate was a track bar bracket and brackets for mounting the Cage Off Road radius arms to the frame. (I used radius arms for an early Bronco which were designed for the boxed frame rails. Cage Off Road has since come out with a kit that bolts onto the '80's frame rails) With the right parts, it can be an easy swap if you have moderate skills. I got most of my ideas from fullsizebronco.com also.
