Roach's D44 SAS Thread!
Well I picked this up from Matt (99ranger4x4) it's a Dana 44 out of a 1978 Ford F-150. I need to buy a whole bunch of small stuff right now I am thinking about running coilovers since I have to buy leaf springs and front shocks anyway. I plan on doing the install in January as I spent all my money on the axle. I cant wait to get this under way.
Until I start the instalation I am going to take it apart replace the seals and bearing. While I am doing that I am going to sand it down and probably put some Por 15 on it.
(Sorry it was raining when I took these pictures I will get better pictures later)
Anyone have any good links on here about coilovers and solid axles? I have been searching but have not found any really good info.

The spool will probably be coming coming out and a ls/locker will be going in. I will probably swap the 5.13's out to 4.56's or something like that. For the rear I am going to be running a Ford 9" my friend says he can get me one for free so I am going to see where that leads me. I will not be swapping it to 4wd for probably 5-6 months cause the $$$ thing. lol I just want to get it up under the truck right now. I can run the 5.13's in there as long as I dont hook up the 4wd so I am good on that end.

And yeah Andy what happened to your coilover drop deal?
Also, I wouldn't mess with swapping the gears around if I didn't have to. That's an extra $300 you don't really have to spend.
