any flex/wheeling shots for us?
sorry not yet. The trac bar is only tacked on right now. I gotta design some better coild retainers as well. I have an idea in mind, just gotta get the material and make them.

any flex/wheeling shots for us?
351Ranger,
I wasn't directing that at you. You told me you were swapping stuff out to upgrade it. I was curious about the mounting hole though based on what you told me. I was wondering if the same was true for the Rangers.
I commend you for upgrading to the larger joints and better brakes on your D44 instead of just sticking it in as is for a SAS. I know those early 44's had drum brakes and smaller u-joints than the D35.
(2) questions for you:
1) What is the width from coil bucket center to coil bucket center and from axle spring mount to axle spring mount. It looks like the mounts on the axle are slightly narrower than the mounts on the frame. \ /
2) When you mounted the radius arm brackets, did you have to drill all new holes or were you able to use one of the existing frame holes on each side to locate it? I think that I had heard the rear holes are already in the frame.
It's the rear hole of the 78-79 (for sure, could be other yr's too)radius arm bracket that line up with a hole in the frame for the tranny crossmember. The hole will line everything up for you, but all other holes will have to be drilled in the frame.
Couple questions for ya there Chicco. What are ya running for coils and leafs, or a measurement from hub center to fender would be great...I'm trying to figure out what my ride heights gonna sit like with the 7" EB coils and 5.5" chevy leafs. Thanks

im running the 3.5" BC bronco coils, and 3.5" superlift leaves in the rear. I have measurement from the ground to the fenders. Rear is 47", front is 46". With 36" tires, divided by 2 would be 18, so a rough estimate from the hubs would be rear 29" and front 28". so you will be around rear 32" front 31-32". that will be big.
Do you have a body lift? If not, then you will probably sit much like mine(i have a 3" body lift) Im thinking about taking my body lift out and cutting the fenders, lower COG.
