I-Beam Vs. A-Arm

[busted bones]

Also, this will sound really nooby, is there such thing as differential that can go from full lock to limited slip? I ask because my buddy almost go a ticket for exhibition of speed when a cop heard his tire spinning caused by his lockers.

I think that the E-Locker can go from locker to L/S, It's an electronic one, can't remember who makes it at the moment...

Detroit makes the E-locker, IIRC.

auburn gear makes the limited slip/"locker". the problem with that setup is that it is not a true locker. hitting the lock-up switch on an auburn gear just ramps up the preload on the limited slip...meaning it can and will still slip if enough torque is applied to one tire.

Fyi

It's really up to you from my experience the I-Beam kits go for a little more than the A-Arm kits for the simple reason ur getting the i-beams and all. The travel isnt really much off I have 19" of travel on my ranger and its a arm.. i think the I-Beam kit i saw was just a lil over 20" i think camburg's kit comes with a 1.5" lower mono ball and 1" upper so shouldnt need to worry there. Dont forget to take pics of the build

you only get new beams on 2wd kits, and even then, the price is about the same for a 2wd TIB kit and a 4wd SLA kit. 4WD TTB kits are cheaper than 4wd SLA kits.

and until i see pics, i call BS on 19" of travel from an SLA truck unless its highly modified.

Hmm..

Well heres a link for a decent kit that yields 19" of travel for ur ranger. http://www.camburg.com/fordsprodEDGE.html otherwise they got a kit or two for I beam as well http://www.camburg.com/fords1P.html. Either way there great kits..

haha ya for $7000 dollars you can get 19 inches of travel out of an a-arm setup. it's right there in your link. for 2700 I could get 16 inches of travel out of my 94 2wd www.autofab.com .

Really? A thread that's almost a year old? Why?
