[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 292268, member: 4983"] Next up came a dana 44 / 9" combo... Yeah i know should have gone with a 60. But when you have no money, you have to go with what you can afford. Anyway the 44 is a 79 ford high pinion so that means cast wedges and radius arms are next. I welded the arms to some 2x2x1/4 wall square tube and added johnny joints to the ends. My radius arms are 48" long and 22" apart on the frame side. Hopefully it'll flex. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/20/9uquza8y.jpg[/IMG] While i was at it, i built a trackbar mount that mabe wont rip off the frame.

Crossmember also 2x2x1/4" and I bought a clocking ring to clock the transfer case flat for a perfectly flat belly.
