I'm building a another 14 bolt front axle.

When I see 14 bolt, I hear banjo music playing in my head... I know they are strong and you can shave them but you can also shave other axles... IMO if you are going as far as a 14 bolt, you might as well just go for the whole rockwell idea.

Why?Then you have a whole bunch of other problems.Not very easy to build a low rig with rocks.Out of the box you pretty much can't beat a 14bolt.

I would go with front load rockwells... simple, done, ready to go...

Not to be too argumentative, but a 60 pretty much beats a 14 bolt "out of the box" because there's no box with a front 14bolt in it.

Thats a damn valid point...

Hard to beat the rocks... Just add pinion brakes...

I agree when talking about a front axle.As for a rear I like the 14bolt.I wouldn't bother building a 14bolt front either.Rocks are strong as hell.But just too dam big to deal with.I mean if I was to put rocks under my rig.It would be WAY taller.Without totally reworking the rig that is.

Damn how wide is this?

Agreed. 14 bolts are cheap. And easy. But much less so when it's a front end.
