Another FW 78/79 dana 44 swap

[97TrailRigDD]

no i meant i might need a piece lol, we had about 50ft of it at the shop that got stolen. i gave you my stash out of the garage

You can have it back , I have no plans for it right now . There is a 35 , 20 and a 19 .

i just need the 35 for a rear crossmember. was going to use 2x3 but the body mounts are made into the rear crossmember so i have to cut it out.

Spent the last couple of days trying to come up with a design for the radius arms . Didn't want to loose too much ground clearance .

This is what I have tacked together so far . I think I'm just going to plate both sides with 3/16 sheet and be done with them .

 

[97TrailRigDD]

It's hot out there ! Added 1/4 x 1 1/2 piece of bar to the bottom of the arms . Still need to put 3/16 on the sides .

It's hot out there !

Damn straight! I like where you're going with this.

How come you didn't get a DRE for the pitman are connection?:

New Steering bling came in this week .

By far the coolest way to beef the stock radius arms up though, love it

 

[97TrailRigDD]

Glad you guys like it .

Just called RuffStuff and they are sending me a DRE , no charge . Great people to deal with .

Thanks for pointing that out .

No problem

A regular TRE would work, but it only has a max angle of 15* and most setups run that at static ride height and bindage would occur as the axle flexes. The DRE's have 30* so no worries there

Yeah RuffStuff is very good about customer service, and have always treated me right. Never once have I been let down by them.

I am really liking how you are setting up your arms. Can't wait to see how they work out.
