high traveler 01-31-2002, 05:49 PM my scout is stock right now, it is awaiting money for mods and shat. i have 33"x12.50's i got cheap and they're goin on soon. i have a drop pitman arm i got at a junkyard. the main part i was wondering about is pinion angle. with just the axle under conv. i was wonder if that would be a problem. anything else people know from this expirience would help. reverse shackles will probably be next. jdjanda 01-31-2002, 06:00 PM My axles are under my Scout, it runs great that way, you should try it some time. I tried it once with the axles in the garage and the Scout would not move, any ideas? :flipoff2: Search the daily Topics in the IH section, we've discussed SOA's and SR's in detail. Hang in their soon enough you'll be a smart ass like the rest of us.

Are you using two rear axles? You might want to try a Dana 44 with steering knuckles, it'll allow you to turn. tsm1mt 02-01-2002, 01:18 PM Originally posted by high traveler my scout is stock right now, it is awaiting money for mods and shat. i have 33"x12.50's i got cheap and they're goin on soon. i have a drop pitman arm i got at a junkyard. the main part i was wondering about is pinion angle. with just the axle under conv. i was wonder if that would be a problem. anything else people know from this expirience would help. reverse shackles will probably be next. What are you doing with a drop pitman arm? :rainbow: I need a less-drop pitman arm .. need to go visit a buddy and finally get a 78/79 Bronco arm from him and hope it's raised enough. :flipoff2: When I first did my SPRINGS OVER THE AXLES (that's SOA, not AUS, which is a country, or a part of your body, depends..) I ran "equal and opposite" angles on the front and rear. No problems after clearancing the U-joint yokes and greasing the joints before every run. I now have an RS with negative front pinion angle - no problems after I removed the zerk fittings (they were binding!) I'm throwing in some 6-deg shims with the new trussed front end to bring the pinion back up closer to level hopefully. Later I'll move the motor back and drop the whole assembly 3-5" for a lower COG and better driveline angles.. Maybe then I'll step up from 31" tires, too... | |
