$30/ft for 3"x.250 DOM
i would still because i really only need to do the driver side right now so my perch isn't all funky and i don't have to run different size U-bolts but then i run into the time restriction. im running out of time quickly
the school doesnt have a fixture to hold the D44 like they have to narrow 9"
update, we have the axle under the truck centered, the front 2x4x.250 cross member welded on, i made the shackles today out of 3/8" plate, they are 6" tip to tip the holes will probably be like 4.5" apart.
tomorrow i want to get the hangers built and the drop bracket to hold the spring hanger built. i need to order some bolts and bushings tonight
and i got the PSC TRE's/jam nuts and weld-in sleeves today along with the All Pro pitman arm, i should be getting all the p/s hose fittings tomorrow
oh yea, 25" steel braided brake line.. not long enough

i wanted it i just didnt want to make you go through that much trouble getting all the stuff together.
its gonna be a while though, i still need to get a rear axle under there so the gear ratios will match, and i need to level the back out because its gonna be hella lower than the front
thanks though i love it. i've done a few cheap mods, i took the foam out of the tires, put a few hundred BBs in each tire and held air out while i tightened the bead locks down.. traction is not an issue for the thing.

From someone who actually runs a spool, not who knows someones buddy who's cousin ran one back in the day.
They work. They're cheap. If you need them to unlock, hop out and unlock the hub. Hydro assist is recomended, but when your on the gas and turning, no matter what kind of locker is in the front, it will be just as "hard" to turn as a spool.

As far as my no-slip being hard to turn when on the gas, not a problem, and I still have IFS (And I've wheeled the crap outta my truck).
Sorry don't mean to jack the thread.

no more trying to convince me not to run a spool.. if your that convinced send me a new carrier that will work for 5.13s and a lunch box locker in it or a full carrier locker.. until then everyone shut up about how a spool is a bad idea.
