Well, this is just a teaser for the project that I hope to have completed this time next year.
I picked up a set of axles from a 74 f250. They are a rear Dana 60 8 bolt and a front Dana 44 8 bolt with closed knuckles, warn hubs, and it's a low pinion, not my favorite pick for a front, but I love the look of closed knuckles. The front is already a high steer set up, one less thing to worry about, and has a hydro assist that was factory. I have some home work to do, but I'd like to incorporate the hydro assist into the rebuild.
This is what the set up is now, really just a rustys 8" long arm lift, with 35s. It's been a fun rig to run on the trails, but I want to do some tougher trails and run 37s.
My goal for the year is really just to get the axles built and installed, and larger tires purchased and installed. I don't know much about the closed knuckle. I do know many people say to junk it, but I like the look and I always like to be different. Any input on this type of axle would be much appreciated.
