Oh my! My birthday isn't until October! You shouldn't have!

 

Replacement front diff and axle as well as lift hardware eh? For the D? I thought you were already lifted. What donor did the diff come from.

^ Yea! ^

Parts list?

 

Nah not lifted enough, gotta make them jeeps look smaller.




Donor
1979 f250 400ci
Dana 60's f/r High pinion 4.10 gearing


Some of the parts
Ballistic Fab- high steer arms / crossover steering
4wd Factory- Kingpin rebuild kits/ master overhaul
Blue Torch Fab- Misc shackle-leaf brackets
Barnes 4wd- dana 60 SAS brackets-ubolts
etc etc etc

**Rancho 44044 Front Leafs
Dakota 4+ rear leafs
Custom Shackles

 

I've had the axles under the D already, mostly for fitment/reference. I never removed the a-arms etc etc, just the rear. So pretty much waiting on a few parts (brake lines/shocks/hoops) and $$$$. It'd my DD so i cant afford to have 4 months downtime like all the other sas's. Im happy with the D's stance as it is, but i cant afford to keep breaking Factory IFS. In the end this is the only way to correctly fix the D's offroad flaw (weakpoint).

 

The truck is wider than the D I thought???????

 

Nothing a hacksaw and a soldering iron couldn't fix!

Yea, but cut the axels too! How are you suppost to weld em and have em built to last?

 

nah no cuttin the axle.. Keepin full width.. As for if the axle was cut, have you ever seen a D60 before? Aint no lil 30 or 44. Were talkin 1/2" thick walls, 400lbs of pure meat... Even welded they are tough....
