I have a couple Q's about the 2.63 ballistic JJ's
1. These would be fine to use on an extended are setup correct?
2. Should I use right hand threads on each side or use right on one side and left on the other?
3. I would geuss the bigger the stud the better right? And how many TPI any difference in the 12 and the 14 TPI
4. 2" OD diameter tube with a wall thickness of .250" would come out to be 1.5" ID correct? I dont wanna buy the wrong bungs

 

You MIGHT depending on the tube be able to match the stud to the ID so you can just have someone tap the tube and not have to worry bout the weld in bungs.... just an idea..

 

Well the stud is only 1.25" so i couldnt do that but that would be cool to and the 3.0 isnt big enough either i dont think.

 

yes, 2"x .250" wall tube will be in the neighborhood of 1.5"ID

right hand threads on each would be fine i think..

and the difference between 12 and 14TPI is 2 threads per inch

 

whatcha mean the 3.0 isn't big enough?

 

buy the bungs. they are a harder steel than the DOM anyway.

run all right hand threads on extended radius arms.

id buy the 3.0" JJ myself.

 

Why have you had problems with the smaller ones or just because they are bigger and stronger.

 

well i am running the smaller ones on mine, no issues. but i have 3 links. you have 2, so you are going to have more stress on the joint. I like the bigger ones but it would have cost me a fortune to change over because i reused those brakects.

either one will work fine though.

 

Ill probably run the bigger ones i might as well do it right the first time right. Ooh and my passenger side motor mount is completly gone to haha must be that 4.0 litre power haha

 

i have 1 big 3" joint i will sell you.

 

Is the joint new and how much would you want for it im not gonna do it for a while so i could get it from you at the dunes.

 

Not much to update but I am going to be using a corprate 14 bolt for the rear with 4.88's and a detroit locker also gonna have to run a fuel cell prolay similar to Beards setup i have the axle all stripped and primered ive got the dick brakes all setup and also made a rock guard for the diff cover ill get some pics tomorrow maybe if anyone wants to see it. Also if anyone wants to see specific pictures of the truck feel free to ask and i will do it i know it helped me alot when i did my SAS

 

isnt that illegal

Your truck has come a long way and is pretty bad*ss. Im totally envious.

 

Thanks man its far from done i would still like to 3- link but it should be better with the extended arms.

 

Little update 4.88's and detroit will be ordered monday then set um up and hopefully have it in soon after that.
Beard i need that joiint soon.

 

That's gonna be awesome. Who doesn't need a joint!!

 

I just got my gears and loker leafs should be here tomorow
Edit just got them today

 

Getting the gears setup this week hopefully.
I think the 5.5's might be a lillte much and i may take the ored load leaf out has anyone done this before?

 

yup its been done before.

 

While you're working on the 14bolt don't forget to weld the tubes to the pumpkin. Looks real good so far.

 

what do you mean by that?

And ya ill prollay weld the tubes.

 

Axle is in. (:

 

Nice. I'm ready to see some beastly flex pics!!

 

It should flex good it has the bell tech 6400 and 5.5" chevy leafs with no blocks. Ill get pics tomorrow.
