I would like to see him run a deeper gear set then add on a gear vendor overdrive unit. He has the wheel base & this gets him best of all worlds. Low gearing & highway drive ability.
LoL Tate... my plan is to upgrade to some of you folks alloy shafts once completed, and see if I can ruin them. You know, proper farmer durability testing. I think keeping it geared 3.73 or 4.10 will help a little in the front ends durability struggle. This a Pro Expo build... the focus is on stickers and expensive lights dun't ya know. :D
I agree, just not the price tag!
On a old Dodge, a cross over steering swap is like night and day in how they drive "usually" As in they turn sharper, steer equally in both directions, whats not to love? The issues crop up when the springs get soft enough to flex well. They start to "twist" under certain hard steering loads that make for some quirky driving at times in some combinations. Also side to side flex in the shackle is extremely noticeable., and increases with shackle length. In a mild short lift, with new heavier shackles it's not usually a issue. But in some cases with a spring that uses a fair amount of it's movement at road speeds, you can create some profound bump steer. Like anything, one modification leads to another and so on.... frame strength at the steering box...the debate, should you box the frame near the box or triangulate and well it starts a snowball....
The UPS man is supposed to arrive today with some needed parts. So this afternoon I have to decide which truck we are building...and then assuming Don gets Square D running yet today, I can then begin this project properly.
Work on the truck didn't happen...because I have yet to commit to any one truck LoL
I was just talking to Duane this very morning about his Crew-Cab. If he doesn't start that thing soon, I am going to buy it from him!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
