Alabama thread!

Were you able to use your wheels, or did the Ford 9 have 5 lug?

 

will it line up with your front LT kit?

 

pretty sure he said its toyota bolt pattern before

 

It's got Yota bolt pattern and flange for the DS it's literally a bolt in.

No it's 4" wider than stock but still 4" narrower than my LT

 

Gotcha

So your front LT would be 8" wider than stock? That's like 73" right?

 

Yep My mid size truck is going full size . It'll end up like 88" outside of tire to outside of tire or around that. It's gonna be wide.

 

oh heck yeah that’s awesome!! Can’t wait to see the deets on that. I was looking at this Dana60 a couple days ago… you mentioned it’ll be pretty much all bolt on??

Are you gonna match the rear to the front(as far as width)?

 

Yeah I got it from a guy who had it made. It's pretty friggin' slick. From what I can tell is they used D60 bearing cups then machined them to accept the WSS and then had axles made that would take the reluctor ring. I'd have to tear it completely apart to actually see. The guy he had make it had very vague descriptions on the build sheet and I haven't been able to get in touch with him to get more exact deets. I'm going to be deleting the ABS anyways so I'll have no use for them other than to plug the holes.

 

Yes I like a square looking truck not into the go fast desert look.

 

Rock crawling>Desert racing

 

My crawlers, crawl as fast as the desert racers

 

I feel like that going 100mph in the desert would get old real quick. There just seems like no real enjoyment to me lol. Like rock crawling its all about tackling bigger and bigger obstacles. Just dont know what i would do after i built my race truck lol

 

I have a new timeline for my truck-
37’s
Full hydro
Rear axle
40’s
Anything that breaks or underwhelms with 40’s haha

I’m curious to see how the rear axle works for you. I don’t know much about what our options are. Would probably do a DOM shaft so maybe I wouldn’t be limited to a certain flange?

 

Yep going fast also costs a shit ton more. You can get a little ass beater Zuk or OG Yota truck put some good axles under it, build stacked tcases, and run some air shocks and the biggest expense to the project will be sticky tires to keep up with obstacle wise.

 

why not just skip 37 and go 40 lol

 

Sup Clay

 

You're never limited to certain flanges. You can buy whatever end you want for your DS then just have to get the right yoke for the rear if you go F9, D60, 14b, etc. Mine just has a flange made for the OE yota DS already so I'm sticking to that to not need a DS made just yet.

 

Because 37s is a natural step and he needs to buy my tires and wheels.

 

Thought about it, but I want to enjoy riding in the mean time and not just dive into a months long build again. I can wheel on 37s and add the goodies for 40’s, but 40’s right off the bat might not even roll or steer down the driveway haha
