    d44 vs. d60

    thanks i thought so as well, but i cant stand the body lift. the gaps ruin the beauty of a squarebody so i think that will be coming out and i'm going to be running some 33" or 34" swampers.

    regrooving boggers

    I'm currently looking into a set of boggers for my mud truck however 2 of the four i'm looking at are pretty bald. i'm wondering how hard is it to regroove a tire like this and how much rubber , depth wise, can be removed? I have attached pictures of the 2 bald boggers. thanks

    15" rims on 3/4 ton axles

    So from what many people are telling me, i can't run 15" rims on my current axle set up (D44 and 14B FF) without doing some grinding. Im wondering if any of you have done this. I believe the calipers on 8lug 44s are dual piston, so how much room to spare is there? does to pay to do the grinding...

    Detroit Lockers

    So i'm fairly positive i will be locking my FF14B soon with a detroit but i have came across a used detroit locker for my D44 front axle. My questions are...Is it worth it? The used locker is $300...will it pay off in the long run or is it just a waste of time? the truck is mostly a mud truck...

    Axle swap

    well i just found a dana 60 front and 14ff rear with a detroit locker for 1200 that really makes me want to do this project. however the pinion on the front axles has been rotated up. Would i still be able to make this work with 8in springs since i need the driveshafts modified already?

    Axle swap

    its a truck i'm looking into buying possibly, the guy said it has 10 bolts front and rear and an 8in skyjacker all spring lift. seems like it could be a tough truck with some better axles under it and i didn't know how much of a headache it would be.

    Axle swap

    How much of a pain is it to swap 3/4 ton axles into a 78 1/2 ton truck? I'd think it wouldn't be very much, if any, modification but i dont know for sure. thanks for any help

    the truck is going to see enough road time which is why i parted with the bias tsl's i had. i'd really like to find some radial tsl's but i just cant find any around me in decent shape.
