Could prolly sell your axles, and pay for most of what you crank out for the new ones, and regearing, if necessary.

 

Probably. I have less than $500 for the entire re-gear (gears,install kit, and labor).

 

Gas to diesel will be different u-joints, see if you can grab the driveshafts from the guy as well, and a decient driveshaft shop should be able to do some cuttin and welding to make em fit

 

I think the 2500 drive shafts will just swap in.

 

You will need some kind of conversion u-joint then,or larger yokes on your transfer case. I havent researched it, but your transfer case will have a smaller series yokes on it to fit the 1/2 ton u-joint, if both trucks are the same wheelbase the driveshaft lenghts should be close to the same, just remember the u-joint position on the Dana 60's is farther away from the axle centerline so your driveshaft slipyokes will be pushed in farther on the splines unless you are lifting the truck......I hope you can understand my crappy explanation

 

has anyone bought anything from ballistic fab before? im not impressed. i ordered my steering kit on the 20th of last month and i still dont have it. the heim joints are on back order. whats up with that??

anyways, i need some opinions on shocks. ill be ordering them this week probably. heres what i can get.... http://www.summitracing.com/search/Part-Type/Shocks-and-Struts/Amount-Raised/10-00-in/?Ns=Rank|Asc

 

Have they charged your card for the parts yet? If they have.... I would call them back, and suggest they return the money, until such times as the parts ship. While I had them on the phone, I would also ask when they expect the joints..... if they can't give you an answer, I would find another vendor, and cancel the order.

Shocks.... Up to you.....

 

well i would but they sent me the washers and spacers. and have the dom tubing and joints on back order. i called them friday and they said they were going to send the tubing out and the joints directly from their vendor. so idk...

 

so i finally got my steering and got it setup. what are you guys thinking about the angles on it?

next week ill be ordering shocks and steering stabilizer, then gears...

 

The drag link looks to be a tad steep, doesn't look like there is much angle left in one direction... It isn't going to hit the leaf when you turn sharp to the left is it?? Wonder if you could get some flavor of "high steer" adapter on the knuckle, to reduce the angle some?
