[QUOTE="Turtle Bite, post: 1110901, member: 16775"] The tentative plan is to find a chevy or dodge complete axel. Buying a housing and the knuckles, wheel hubs, seperately looks like it will be the same price as a complete frontend and more work. Hopefully I can get $100 or so out of the old shafts, carrier, gears, brakes ect and have all the needed parts for $700 or so. I like the design of the Currie centersection alot better than the Dynatrac, especially for the price. Still not worth it for me though. My tentative plan is: Chevy or dodge axle Retube with .375 DOM, rotate knuckles, narrowed to 62" or so Stock C's and Knuckles (I am sure they will be strong enough) SRW hubs, havent decided if I will machine front hubs to 6 lug or get 8 lug hubs for the rearend 1/2 ton chevy slide on rotors, toyota calipers Alloy USA shafts, undecided on u-joints Summit machine or other similar drive flanges ARB and 6.17 gears (need to research the gear strength) Toyota pinion flange Gusset with Surplus Center balanced 10" steering cylinder, running the tie rods to the factory tie-rod holes so I dont have to worry about steering arm stud problems. The other option I am considering is a Super Duty axle, which has the advantage of being high pinion, and the newer ones have 35 spline stubs and hubs, and they are only 5-700 from a junkyard. My biggest worry about using one of these is that I can hardly find any information on them. [/QUOTE]
