Re: Beam to Pivot Bracket Clearance

Thanks for the advice guys. I already had it taken apart but I did plenty of measurement before hand. First I plum bobed off the frame and measured to make sure the truck was level. Then I made a bar out of 1/4 stock that was 105" and varified that at the height it was at it was at 105". Pushed the ...

Re: Beam to Pivot Bracket Clearance

Sweet guys thanks for the response. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with this. I basically pushed the beam forward till it hit and brought it back a 1/4 inch. I still have probably 3/8 more I could come back in the hiem if I have to. Just wanted clarification before I drill the holes for the radiu...

I actually got to see this truck when it was at Southwest way back. One of my inspirations. Truck is killer and design and craftsmanship is top notch.

Beam to Pivot Bracket Clearance

Hello all, I've been cycling my front suspension and noticed that with my wheel base pushed around 1"-1.25" forward the passenger side beam comes very close to the driver side beam bracket. So this question pertains more to you guys who have your wheelbase pushed forward. What is a safe distance bet...

Re: 95 f150 4x4

I have the same plasma. Not to be a Debbie downer but if you have a way of getting another machine I would. Mines had nothing but problems and has gone back many times. Not to mention it never cut very well.

From my understanding, the coremat is a 4 pin hood while the parabeam can be used hinged.

Re: ford 8.8 dana 44 ttb

If the truck was the way it all came from the factory, it would be c-clip seeing as 3 bolt was I think 80-82 and the 8.8 wasn't in broncos then.

Re: Complete D44 IFS weight?

If your up for driving it to a recycler or scrapyard they will have a big enough scale. Are you trying to find out for shipping purposes? Or unsprung weight.

Re: C clip eliminator d44 issues

At what point does this need to be adressed? Does it have to do with running a limited slip or is it just because of travel.

Re: Start Your Go-Fast Build-Front Suspension

The geometry between them is different. Yes, the D50 has strengths over the D44, but most parts can be swapped that make a difference, or you can do what some on here have done and put D50 beam ends on D44 beam to get the D44 geometry. From what I recall the D50 is shorter, so less travel/more aggre...

Re: Setting alignment on custom D44 TTB

Ride height camber will be irrelevant because your mount location and cut and turn is going to be completely different.

Re: Carpet and Headliner Kit/Replacement Opinions..

I've bought carpet foxbody carpet from that company as well as ACC and both were good quality. Just let it sit out in the sun so it's pliable and throw it in the truck. It's already formed very well the the floor but being warm helps it settle. It will have a rubbery smell for a few days.

Re: Uniball Beam Pivots

It seems like 1.4 is the magic number everyone uses. That's why I'm thinking the 7/8 with a
The 2" O.D and 1.25" depth is a good option, vintage said earlier 1.40 works but 1.25 would be preferable if possible. Is there any reason you guys would not use a 7/8 setup?
