before we start the BJ vs. KP debate. why dont you go on pirate and READ the comparisons and then come tell me which axle is stronger!!

 

I'm feelin lazy I just like KP axles because you don't need a new knuckle for high steer.. thats about all I know, I know I won't probably wheel hard enough to break a 1 ton ball joint..

 

exactly. Balljoint axles have stronger outers AND knuckles than the kingpin axles.. i doubt i would ever blow a BJ either!! and my axle is from a newer 90s truck so its super new and in great condition. warn hubs to

 

doesn't he have a 5.0 or is that someone else?

 

you'd be hard pressed to break a stock KP60 outer, I wheel with a guy with a 350-400hp 5.7L, 39.5 Iroks, stock 14bff/d60 and he ROMPS on that *****, he's only broke 1 stub shaft. 35 spline chromos would be indestructible in your truck, thats what you said you were gonna get right?

 

wow. without the overload...im curious how those will last....like actually.

no ur mistaken. thats the red ranger with the roof rack...or ex roof rack.

 

I coulda swore there was a white one.

 

there is another white SAS truck with a 5.0... except it has a cute little D30 in the front. haha.. about the expo leafs, if they wear out, ill just take em back to the junkyard and swap em out for a new pair! but i might end up putting the overloads in... idk yet

 

id put the overloads back in personally....or like another main cut to size... i wanna see how it holds up though. cuz i got like one expo pack and an extra ranger pack in my backyard i could use lol

 

my ride will still kick yours off road vito... ANY DAY! =P haha

 

you better have those axles in by tomorrow....

 

wanna race?!!

ya dan! thats the plan, work hard all day.. im gona clean up em really good and re-pack all the wheel bearing and change out the grease but i think i can get em under there!

 

haha BRING IT! What year are they? i hope they're not from a SD or your SCREWED. mind i remind you of my whole endeavor last summer.

 

I had those axles until I traded em for a Front D44 built and a rear 60 -- I didnt like how there was no room for brackets on the drivers side between the pumpkin and the inner C...

i also made those knuckles high steer..so it can be done..there is a nice build on pirate with another ranger..guy made some nice looking arms for his high steer

 

Not any more there is a guy on pirate that makes high steer arms for the stock klnuckles you send him the knuckles he machines them sends back the arms with it for like $325 i think if thats the right year axle.

 

super dutys had disks in the rear...so no superduty...

 

lunchtime update: started working on gettin em under... the rear was simple, since the rear was a dually axle the spring perches were surprisingly the same width as the ranger! so the rear was kind of a bolt in swap! Threw the axle under and bolted up the U-Bolts (15/16 socket size). This stuff is BEEFY!!





Took apart the front, hubs, brakes, spindles, and pulled the shafts... im going to clean em up and re pack everything with grease before i re-install. I need to run to the JY to get U-bolts for the front. and go to the auto part store for driveshaft U joint, then i need to brace and burn in the shackle hangers... umm... ya. that'll do for now

 

looks bent. ill take if off your hands

edit, stop confusing me....your beds back on again? make up your mind lol

 

^^ that thing is MASSIVE haha

 

carl your truck is going to be massive!

 

i cannot wait to see what your parents say... at this point i think they expect you to tear apart your truck when they're gone. are you going to have it done by the time they get back?

 

hopefully to see finished pics soon!

 

Rear disks? i hope

 

definantly in the future plans!

 

UPS MAN JUST CAME!!!
