I’ll grab some for you guys tomorrow, been waiting on ruff stuff to send me a heim from the track bar kit I bought from them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, since making the post I have swapped a sterling 10.5 in for the rear, and cut all the SD mounts on the front axle and built a 3 link pan hard and drag link. The trucks now on 37s. Coil spring front and leafs in the rear, running 4.10s. I have yet to take it out and see how it handles...

Alright so I picked up a 92 f150 reg cab short bed step-side last year barely running and overheating. Iv since fixed all the mechanical issues and would like to “build” a well rounded trail Truck since it’s just a toy. I recently picked up an 06 superduty 60 front, rotor to rotor for 200 bucks...

Thanks! I just looked at it as well!

I'll check out greatlakes, ya 400 bucks for superduty axles! That's what half tons cost. The rear sterlings are cheap, its the fronts nobody wants to sell.

I'd love to run 3/4 tons however up where I'm at, they seem to be gold. Not so much worried about the width just the weight. After some deeper reasearch though I have found that with an m5r1 2wd I can easily convert it to a 4x4 by using any m5 4x4 output shaft, then just use any m5 tail housing...

Another thing iv really been doubting, are my axles going to hold up to 38s when I upgrade? As well as imbording the rear springs to under the frame, good idea or bad? I figured with the rear of the truck being so light I probably should.

A buddy of mine that says he has one recommended the 1356 because of how light it is. He told me it was a divorced case, I suppose I better go look at it. Do you guys think it's a dumb idea to run the 2wd tranny with a divorced case? I just considered it because it will be cheaper, they didn't...

And looking into a bw1356, I'm in Michigan, it's just about to be winter, want the truck on the trails by spring.

Is your rig the truck from garagefab? Think my buddy just told me to look at your stuff, just tonight actually. Unfortunately I'm still in collage so money is limited, this is the truck I have so it's kinda my go to for now. Could you shoot me some specs on what you have going on, thanks for...

I hear ya, its my first build so I'm just trying to make sure there aren't any drastic changes to my plans I should make.

Alright so here's the deal, throughout the past few years iv gone threw multiple trucks looking for the one to build a mild trail truck with. Finally I think I found it. THE VICTIM- 2wd 96 ford ranger with the 2.3, fresh built motor I personally rebuilt. So far I'm into it for 800 bucks. THE...
