But, if something like that comes up near you, and I can swing it, can you grab it and bring it next time you come through Denver? Delivery fee applies, of course.

Wonder if I could put that d44 in the x or if I’d be better off x on the trailer and axle in the bed of f2expensive

was looking at sas kits for the bronco as that would be the axle, holy smokeys they want like $2k for a coil over kit, granted lifting ttb is even more expensive, but I think I'll keep the ttb

I brought home my old Waggy D44 in the back of the 1st Gen....
guess my question is kinda redundant as I'd more than likely trailer up there anyway

its a 22 year old truck with 205k on it and I'd rather run it a bit and get a feel for where it stands mechanically before I try and drive it 450 miles one way

My buddy has the insane TTB setup on his 95. Complete with the ball joint relocation. It's super nuts.

TTB really isn't a bad set up depending on what you're doing, theres a reason they got shoved under jeeps and chevy alike depending on the persons end goal

IIRC the 78+ have cast on wedges instead of welded on. Harder to set them up with custom suspension beyond the factory style radius arms.

Look for a F250 D44. Heavier tubes, leaf spring plates and all the 1/2 ton brake parts swap over so you can use Chevy or Jeep rotors and have 6 lug.

Yeah, it's a Ford center section and Chevy outers to get the 6x5.5 pattern.

Or, here's one I used to use all the time, but haven't used in 15 years, and will never forget:

((2*pi)r)d

I used to use that when animating cars for ford commercials. All the time.

Math is fun!
