I do not understand why people like 8.8's so much. Most Ford builders toss them for a 60 or a 9". In stock form an 8.8 has c-clip axles, uses the shaft as the inner race for the bearing, is prone to bending the housing. The disks and r+p are good. Sure you can build a bad A 8.8, but it will...

Charles has been building those for a long time. When I worked at AFWD we called them Toylet axles.

I agree with Andy ( did I just say that???):D I love the power of the V8. My wish list is the new Ford Cammer 5.0, based off the modular 4.6. All aluminium twin overhead cams, 425 hp@6700 and 370 ft/lb@4000. Not sure of wieght, but pretty cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine it with a...

It's all a trade off! Nothing is ideal for everything or every comp. People get too caught up in the "if this is good, more of it is better". Just because a light rig does well, does not mean lighter is better!! Just because stong axles are good, does not mean we all need to run rockwells or...

Yep, use rubber! Radius arms can work well!!!! I run them on my wifes' XJ and my Bronco. The XJ uses stock rubber at the axle and ford bushings at the frame. The EB uses rubber at the axle and 1 1/4" heim at the frame. Both work well. I like the bind, works as a sort-of anti-rock sway bar.

I think we used 1/2 anchors and had a base of about 18x24. I think you will be ok though. Get a fine grit disk/drum on a die grinder or dremmel and and polish the edges of the dies. Take your time. I have done this on many dies and they work great. Watch them, if they get a burr, polish it...

Your welcome to take a look at mine. It is in Suka's garage. Get in touch with me or him. It is in Sandy. Marc

The buggy looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw it in person yesturday. VERY NICE. I love the rear suspension, nice fab and geometry!!!!!!! Marc

Parker LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where you been?? I will be there watching, going to Vegas after.

A straight axle Mazda, Cool! Only seen one other and it was from CO too. Are those EB flares on there?? Welcome! Marc

They don't like to run cold, thats pretty normal. There are different holes on both ends of the accelerator pump linkage. Experiment with moving them around until you get the desired hard acceleration characteristics you want. Or, depending on how long it has been in there, or if it sat for a...

What is it doing? I have rebuilt a ton of them!!!! I always set it by experience, never use the little measuring thingy they give you. The rebuild kit is less than $15, just rebuild it, never hurts. PM me and I can give you a hand.

They SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hated them. I removed them after 1 use. I bent 2 mainleafs when they were on (even with a traction bar). I had them on the rear of my Bronco. Everytime I went down a steep drop, the rear would unload, shackles opened up at it felt like it was going to...

If I remember right, it was 3.5 inches per side. Not enough for a second set of c's.

I built a bridge over the late model c's that was long enough to move the coil cup inbourd where it needs to be.

Holy sh%$ that is funny. Thanks for making me laugh Brent. Trying to stop fingures from typing.....can't help myself..... Must not comment any further........ Unplugging keyb........

Metal Supermarket should have it. Off of 1700 S just west of I-15. I doubt Mcnees will have that size.

Shawn, you are the MAN. I could not agree more!! Marc

Lots of good points. I agree with Andy and Shawn. I started in Moab 15 years ago with 31's on my Bronco. Every time I went up a tire size I said I would never go bigger, but I at 38's now. Never say never. You say we make trails harder. I don't think so. We may take harder lines or new...

I'll second that!! Parker is rough on his leaf srings.
