not going anywhere yet...gotta find some stock 3.73 axles first

 

[Andres629]

I've got a stock D35 3.73 pumpkin. lol

Why you going back to 3.73?

 

[86 slo-vo]

because im pulling the axles and lift from the explorer to put under the ranger....the rear full detroit and front truetrac along with the duff longarms will be right at home under the trail rig ranger

so just need some stock 3.73 axles to put back under the ploder

 

[86 slo-vo]

need to find me some axles...gotta get the ranger rolling on some 35's!!

im actually getting tempted to start looking for SAS parts for this winter....

 

[Kyle M.]

You know, by the time I had my D35 ready to roll on 35's minus the locker, I could have had a SAS bought and paid for. Once you lift your truck with a TTB, you are constantly fighting to keep your driveability up, keeping everything in order, keeping wheel bearings good on 35's......so glad I am finally doing my SAS, I wasted so much money trying to keep the front end going. They just aren't made for 35's, they will turn em, but there are just better options. I didn't lift my truck to wheel it, I just wanted a lifted truck...now I wanna wheel.
