I am looking into welding my 14BFF stubs onto a 9" housing. Who around here has axle jigs to do that sort of thing? And how much does such an operation run?

Are your D44 and 9" full width, EB axles or did you narrow them?

You will probably want to get a machine shop to do the drilling for you, especially if the rotor does fit snugly around the hub. If the rotor does not fit snugly on the hub, then the lug studs have to locate the rotor. If you don't drill the holes just perfect, you will have radial run out...

Realistically: how much travel? So, I have decided to go with the radius arm setup, but I am wondering how much travel can I realistically expect to get? Or rather how much should I build for? Keep in mind this truck will be a daily driver. I found a good deal on some 12" travel coilovers--...

Your sami looks really good. I just had a question about your master cylinder. You said you went from a 7/8" bore to a 1 1/16" bore. Wouldn't that decrease your braking power? Or did you have to, to make up for the toyota discs?

Take the line lock off and very slowly fill it with fluid on the bench. Do whatever you can to ensure there is absolutely no air in the line lock itself. Carefully reinstall it without spilling the fluid in it or allowing air to get back inside. I would then bleed the system by loosening the...

Last time I took a measuring tape to it, I remember the full width 44 and 9" being almost exactly six inches wider that the EB axles. However, i cannot remember either measurement, so I suppose this is worthless information. I had a 1992 Explorer and when I looked into an SAS, it looked a...

I appreciate the feedback. I will definitely go with the radius arm setup. A friend gave me some radius arms and bushings from an early bronco. Are those a good choice or are the arms too short? I've got HP D60 for the front end, but it doesn't look like I will have enough room on the short...

I was down at the Ford dealer today talking to the alignment guy and told him I needed caster/camber adjusters for my 4x4 kingpin style Dana 60. He looked at me like I was crazy and asked how you can fit an axle shaft through a kingpin. Then he mumbled something about trunions. Is that...

I am putting a solid axle under my 97 F150, but I'm not sure which link setup to use. I will be using coilovers with 12-14" of travel, maybe 16's if they will fit. I definitely want to use a panhard bar since the truck will be street driven and thrashed in the desert. I still want to have...

I work at a dealer and I get a kick out of charging people forty bucks to tell them what the code is.
