JAKE's 06 SOLID AXLE SWAPPED DCLB EAF & BS build

400$ for an axle shaft with backing plate!!!!!!!!!!!

@thefatkid are you sure we cant try the BFH method and new shoes first

 

That's as much as I paid for my d60

 

I know!!! We got a super 60 and a sterling 10.5 for 650$.

Im kinda eye balling a 14 bolt drilled for 6 on 5.5 right now.....

 

I think im going to pick up the sterling for the rear as well eventually.

I was thinking to stay 8 lug personally and not mess with it. That and as far as I know there is no 6 on 5.5 conversion for the newer superduty

 

I could convert the front back to 8x6.5 and do the same in the rear but i just bought wheels. And i have 600$+ in front brakes that could turn out to be the rear this whole time....

 

I have to get a 17 in anyways to clear calipers so I might as well make it easy and go with the lug pattern on there now.

Ouch that's a lot of money if they are the wrong ones.

 

Your truck, you can try anything you like. If you try that way, attach a straight edge to the wheel mount surface and try and get the measurement even to the backing plate all the way around.

 

Would it work and or what parts do i need to get from you to fix this. I need to get it done. I only get lucky so many times and i would rather use them on other things then trying to stop my truck in time.

 

you going wontons now ?

 

Yah i taked with a guy that can get my kidney out in the back of his van so im going to do that sense im about out of blood with all this money i have been bleeding...

Being rich would make life so nice.

 

lol yeah

 

Where is everyone
On another note sound deadner mod day

Sure is quiet in here

 

I'm guessing a shaved 14bolt? Wonder how much wider than stock the axle would be.

 

Sorry. Been busy with life. And sound deadener in this heat might be fun. It would stick to everything!!!

 

Hell ya it would
It's frickin hot as hell today!!
I know all about that busy life thing!!!

You back in class?

 

That is what i would do. Shaved i can get it to more clearence then the front has right now. And stock is about 65 those are 67 or 69 depending on what i do. But i have spacers on the rear so im sitting at 67.5 right now. With my width now i would not be upset about a 1/2 inch. Just trying to figure out if i want to do the work to make it 6 lug. I dont see in the near future of changing the front out and every thing i have set up for 6x5.5.

 

No took the summer off. If i was smart i would have done all summer classes and had the winter off. That way i could actually work out side. I havent been able to work on a tundra bumper the past two days because of this stupid heat

 

You do seem to prefer working in the cold!!! That's hibernation time for me

 

I LOVE THE COLD!!!! Yah something about 100 degree days wearing a leather welding jacket and welding, grinding, and working in it does not sould like fun.... But in general the heat just sucks.

 

If it's too hot to work then It's time to head to the mountains to play ;D
