9" Swap

Ahhh....forgot about that writeup.


So you are going full knuckle.


Not all of the 35 beams have the deep overlap like those ones. But that is ideal.

I also think he overdrove and offset the knuckle too deep like I did the first couple times we tried it in the 90s....which moves the axle centerline from optimum. I seen that truck at an off-road park in mich and that is what I suspected....but he had reported no notable issues.

Definitely worth doing if running 35 inch or larger tires

So...how do I make sure I don't offset the knuckle too deep?

Slow. With a fresh setup measure the shaft height and make a jig block that sits in the beam.

Then use that as a guide
