Any benifit/problems with running delrin in the lowers and poly in the uppers?

TC makes lowers for my kit, and not uppers. Im having a hard time finding someone in my area to make the uppers for less than 300$ I paid 150 for the lowers from TC.

Edit: my lower poly bushings squeak and are getting chewed up from the oblong alignment holes.

 

I'm super liking this idea.

 

Cheapest thirds I've found are 700 on eBay. From currie it's 1500, but I'm going with a Detroit locker and that's what's pricey.

 

That part should be inside the shock ! What do I win ?

 

Good thing about 9"s is everything is cheaper, gears/lockers etc. Also I think battlescars on here has a locker for sale.
Also if you go 9" they sell yokes to adapt to toyota dshaft

I was just looking at those, u think it's better to use one of those yokes or have the driveline modified for a 1320/50

 

Shims don't look thick enough, should be doubled up 20s

 

1350 would be stronger, but I like to keep it simple for spare parts, much easier to find a stock driveshaft. I've been running that set up for 4 years no problems

 

pretty soft rebound setup

 

Am I allowed to play the guess game?

 

No locktite

 

Pretty sure this is how they come from foa...

 

Piston is upside down?

 

Serious flutter stack right there. Flows like a river.

 

To answer your question, I would run Delrin all around not just the lowers.

I have run delrin bushings on two different DD trucks with no issues. I prefer them over poly bushings. The extra vibration is negligible when your running an LT kit and 33"-35" tires. on the street everyday.
