    Hydro Assist (let's talk)

    So, steering with 37" tires and a locker up front sucks...... Time to do something about it. I think this is my plan, but I was wondering if anyone else has ever done it. I am going to use the the stock pump and stock gear box. :shok: Ya or No? Money is tight, so I was going to give it a go like...

    measurement question

    ^^^^^ lol I did not have a tractor though... I made due though. Then what I did is just sent my passenger axle shaft to dutchman axle and had them take off the same amount as I took from the tube. http://www.dutchmanaxles.com/ If you need pictures for help, use this link...

    ring and pinion advice

    I have the same set up. I am running 44 high pinion and soon to be 9" with 5.13s. You will need a new carrier for the 44; however, I don't think you need a new one for the 9". Is your 9" a 31 or 35 spline? Also, with the dana 44 and 9" the lowest gears you can go and still find matching ratios...

    Clarke 190EN

    Anyone ever use a clarke welder before??? what did you think? I was kind of looking at this one. http://www.amazon.com/Clarke-190EN-Fluxcore-Welder-220V/dp/B004UTTYT0/ref=pd_cp_hi_2 I don't have $700 to spend on another nice one, right now.

    EB dana 44 or fw dana 44

    Get a full width dana 44 so you can have the high pinion. The EB axles also come with 260x (small) u-joints. If you find a high pinion with disk brakes they come with 5-297x u-joints. Bigger is better, go with a full width dana 44 high pinion with disk brakes. That's what I did. Narrowing them...

    coil springs dana 44

    This is what I use. http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/coil-springs-5.5-lift-long-travel-new-per-pair Loaded they are at 17 and 3/4 which is about what you want right? The picture of the coils on the website is a bit off though. This is what it will look like. They ride nice and have...

    I will let you guys know. However, I do not know how soon that will be because I have no time. I got the parts for the single pice drive line swap. I have an 89, so i had to get the bigger yoke for my rear axle. I think I will be doing the swap on memorial day weekend. :yahoo:

    Narrowing Dana 44

    The u-joints are smaller in the classic bronco axles. If you are narrowing the f-150 axle then just shorten the passenger side. Then you can send the passenger side inner axle shaft to dutchman axles to get it shortened and re-splined. That's the easiest and cheapest way to do it. That's what it...

    drivers side coil bracket ?

    ya your weld does suck, but you have a bigger problem. I see you have the bracket bolted to your radius arms and then welded to your axle. Those radius arms are made so they can move a little bit. That is why there are big C bushings. Something is going to give. Either your weld brakes or your...

    I like them alright. I haven't had any problems with them and they are way better for flexing out than my 1' stock ranger radius arms. They also kind of look stock too... which i kind of like. i have had people ask if it actually is stock haha any who, i think my next project is a one peace...

    Haha i love the conversations that go on this thread!! We are having way to much fun. The steering radius is pretty close, maybe ever better. The only problem I have found is that my tires rub against my radius arms when I am turned all the way. You may want to invest in some offset wheels or...

    well they are kind of small. 33x11.5 r 16 I am going to run 35 or 36 inch tires from now on. I had just bought those tires before I did the sas.

    sas dana 44

    um no specific reason. Someone told me narrowing it 6" would make it the same width as the dana 35 and I wanted it a little wider. Did you send your axle shaft to dutchmen?

    Ya, I narrowed it 5"
