You're not passenger drop with the 300? Or plan to flip it?

You don't want to spend time and money building that unit bearing disconnect garbage.

I have a 88 Ford KP 60 with 4.10s. Complete and good shape. Text me and we'll work a deal. You don't want that dodge axle.

for half of $240 it's fine. Lock the CAD solid and put 35sp stuff in it once it breaks or premptively if it's in the budget. Brett posted the factory length 35sp shafts for it - sealing at the CAD is the only "hard" part of that.

if you run ~40s it'll probably need unit bearings and ball joints every other or every 3rd year (maybe less) with offroad only use. I'm assuming it'll be not plated or maybe an ice cream getter, not a daily driver 5,000+ mile/year deal.

Are you leaving the leafs or going links?

I would measure how far apart the leafs are and make sure the front driver's side leaf isn't going to want to sit in the middle of the pumpkin. Spencer's axle won't fix that either.

No leaf perch in the diff. Pretty much obligated to links.

mine has perches at 36.5"

Post by: M4wdFab on June 24, 2013, 12:30:10 PM

outboarding springs is not uncommon, and fairly easy.  did it on my 8 with tons and leafs  1 tons under a 7 frame deserve some steal anyway for frame contacts....


hmm i guess if there is no perch from a coil truck that might be annoying, but possible.

Possible 4 link front and rear. Since I have time
