And having the extra width doesn't hurt either..

Thats looks sweet. Hey Crash what is your WMS.:question:

Looks sweet!! I apinted my tie ro and drag link smurf blue as well. Are those extension pieces running from your steering arms to the factory arms on the knuckles?? How did you make those?

Ah.....blue crossover up top ;-)

Looks sharp.

better get some warns and ctm's or you will have the same result the birfs get with those bozs. :D looks good

How wide?

62in WMS WMS with 2in BS wheels...


and that red ford in that second pic sure looks familiar, Hmmmm...

looks awesome. so did you shorten it to 62" or use a wagoneer.

waggies are only 61 and not RC either

his part's list went a lil somthing like this (i know i got em)

ford RC44 center section (Crash got this from SNORTclown)
GM 10 bolt bare housing for 3in .500 wall axle tubes and inner knuckles
75 Wagoneer 44 for flat top's and 6 lug outers
custom machined axles by Doug Barley (no neckdown) long side 80-84 waggy length, short side mid 70's dodge length.
RC 5.38 YUKON gears (US Gears)
and an ARB


a waggy in a toy looks like this ;) and the 3in narrowing is required without outboarding springs...

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but what's up with the custom axles? They are a stock length, but stronger? I really like the idea of a 62" wide D44, it'd match a 60" Taco rear with 1" spacers very nicely :D

chevy long side shaft's are one of the cheapers DANA replacement shaft's you can buy, and having them shortened removes the weak ass neckdown in them... these will eventually be spare shaft's when Randy's get's they're Alloy shaft's in stock...

Hey Dave do you still need that other Dana 44 front with flattops and if anyone needs I have another 3"tubed 10 bolt bare housing for the tubes I've got another one just like crashes Oh ya I sold that one to Dave.

62, eh? :flipoff2:

How does that steering setup work for you. I thought that for some reason people say not to run the drag link in the middle of the tierod like you did? Can someone please explain this so I can understand.
Sweet setup :smokin:

ya ya ya..... All in due time, gotta remember, we don't have that EXTREEm traction up here, so as long as i get my set before the march hammers trip, will be all good...

not too bad, actually better than the toy setup, but still have to iron man it at times, the hydro assist will fix that...
As for the location of the draglink-tie rod. Due to the spring configuration, thats as far I dare run it to the pass side, and i still had to notch the frame for that, but you have to remember, with it steering off the tie rod, you are steering off 6 bolts(both arms) rather than just the pass side...
