    Before this I had to turn down a few jobs. Before the bender even got here I had a full bed rack to build, 3 bed bars, and 3 sets of sliders. Rack and bed bars are paid for already.

    Plan is to build the funds back up, order gears and locker for the front , the arms posted earlier, and order the super 60 shafts. Then buy a rear axle and build that up

    I still say skip the part in red, for now at least. These axles are strong already, I doubt you will need them. Spend that money on other necessities

    So much more beef though lol. I’ll wait haha

    I just saw that ballistic now has hubs for a 14 bolt that go to the metric 8 so I’m honestly not sure now haha. If not a sterling 10.5 from a 05-09 to keep them matching

    Main reason they love the 14 bolt is because of the extra pinion bearing on the front. Keeps deflection to a minimum. Plus cheap as hell to build

    In my rear axle I’ll just have $500 in it for the locker I got a steal on. Well and what I paid for the axle.
