Why not find a newer Expo Axle and get the discs with the axle, along with the L/S, only thing is you will probably need to re-gear, maybe not if you pick and choose you might find an Expo with 4.10s. ?

Also, if you were mud dragging the 3.73s in the front would be good.

 

maybe at a later time. I've already paid for these parts and I'm not in need of any of the extra stuff (i.e. costs) at this time. And I'll be keeping 4.10's


hey if I run these "new" rotors through the shot blast, will they be alright, and will they need to be resurfaced when they come out?

 

what kind of media? I'm assuming slag or metal shot? I think it would be ok. If your worried about the center, just hit it with some sand paper real quick, the brakes will clean up and shine up the rotors within the first 10 or 15 miles.

 

I dont see why all the arguing is going on here. Most ANY junkyard will have a expo or mountaineer disc brake 8.8 with 4.10s and a L/S for UNDER $250. Then all you have to do is mount the damn spring perches on it and be done.

 

metal shot. I'll take my old ones in and run em through, see how they turn out.

I'm happy with the direction I've decided to go. I'll keep it in mind though.

 

^ Yea definitely dude. It's the most common axle in those vehicles 4.10s and a L/S
