Axle advice requested

Good deal!

 

Mike,
Powr-Loc, good score!
Do you plan to leave the spring over setup? From what I have read on the group forums you will have to deal with spring wrap problems if you do.
Are you able to weld on the spring pads on the bottom of the axle if you go to spring under? If not let me know I can help.

Don

 

Don thanks for the offer-----first I have heard of a spring wrap issue with SOA, but then I am too stinkin new at this to know SOOOO much that I need to know.

Tell me more.

My first thoughts were to go back under, and the front axle is under also.

As far as the actual welding, I can do that----but where is a good place to get the perches from??

Thanks again, for the offer, sure are a lot of good folks here.

If you ever get up this way, stop in and see the project.

 

Awesome! You'll have to update us all when you get it mounted.

 

You'll want to do a spring under, putting the springs on top is like adding a 6 inch lift.

 

I've heard nothing but good things from this place: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com

Your new narrowed d44 may have a 2.75" tube ? I think the pre amc d44's are 2.5". Check these out: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/narrow-perches-series-p-94.html

 

I am actually planning on doing a separate thread on the build, and posting it in the correct forum.

At this point, I am still acquiring parts---actually doing the install will come later.

Thanks for the interest.
