Did the heat from all the welding warp the housing? The tubes? What all needs to get straightened? How do they even do that?
That looks really good! What goodies are going inside it? |
looks like it weighs about 900 lbs now, but could fight 30 elephants blindfolded. So you win!

That looks really good! What goodies are going inside it? What they do is cut the ends off, run a strightning rod (basicly a 'true' solid rod) through the center then weld the ends back on. Plan is 4.56's and a detroit.. but I haven't gotten that stuff yet so who knows. |
DAM* thats one hell of an axle!!
looks great man, if it didnt weigh so much i would have u fab me one haha |
holy crap man, that looks awesome. why did you go 4 link instead of 3? what lower links are you going to run?
i need to call you sometime this week, what are you doing for presidents? also... i might want your leafs when you are all done with em |
very nice Jason.
Looks great. Alot of work into that. Can't wait to see the finished product. |
not to affend anyone else and if I do I am sorry.
That is the most impressive "mod" I have seen anyone post on any forum I have ever been on. Just my .02 |

now lemme ask you a question it might be dumb but im new to this link stuff.. how do you know the angles of the link bars comin off the axle.. |

Jason, could you describe this preload you're talking about? Could you mock up some sort of jig to attach the axle to while welding to keep it from warping? I'm imagining a metal frame that attaches to the pumpkin and bolts in at the brake flanges to keep everything straight while you're welding. |

Cool! How much does it cost to get an axle straightened like that? i can't imagine it would be cheap...
