Alright so some of you might know me or have seen me around on this site or a few of the others... so you know im running a eb 44 on 38s with beadlocks but now its time for a 60 and 14 bolt. Yea the 44 and 8.8 have served me well and im running a good set up (leafs ) but its time to build it right Im going to run a 3 link up front with either coilovers or air shocks (havent really decided on which but im leaning towards the air shocks) there rear im eventually gona 4 link but i might keep it leafs for now. run full spool front and rear 5.38s and 40s or 42s. Im going to keep the cog low and do some cutting on the wheel wells . gona throw some sliders tube bumpers and lower exo cage with a full cage inside the cab maybe (still thinking about the full exo cage)

Ive started the tear down of the ford kingpin dana 60 and getting ready to build the truss tear down the 14bolt regear both and then tear the 44 out of the truck.
ill try and take pics step by step and make a good write up for future builds
thanks for following.

This should be a very interesting build. I notice your truck just fits in your garage.

I think your truck looks very badass as it is and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

[wellcom2knoxvile]

is your d44 narrowed??

 

[Downey]

its an eb dana 44 its narrow from the start

thats going to be one capable ranger. PM me if you need ANY help with this build. It would be cool just to check out the truck in person.
Are you planning on boxing the frame any to hold up those heavy axles?

 

[RDR]

that is a bad A truck man!

Yea its an EB dana 44 its 3inches wider than the stock ranger wms so works out perfect with 1.5 in spacers in the rear on the 8.8. sorry not really any up dates on the build just waiting on parts to come in

Im in Colorado i got a few guy from here looking to buy but just to clear it up its a eb dana 44 with 456 gears full spool denember sp? high steer heavy duty knuckles with high steer arms tie rod and drag link are made out of 1.5 in dom .25 wall with heim joints.

still no parts in the mail yet so i messed around in the garage and made some wooden link just trying to plan out where there gona fit the best under the truck. still gona sand blast the axle and get her cleaned up. but i should be receiving some 5.38 gears, already got the spool, some denember high steer knuckles, ballistic fab high steer arms and dana 60 diff.

Why not? Dirt cheap and strong as hell.
