I've got a 97 s10 blazer I'm gonna SAS. I'm gonna run 38" TSLs, 14FF in the rear. Gonna keep the stock trans/x-case cause I don't wanna bite off too much at once so i'm gonna need a driver drop front axle.
So what should I use in the front?

I don't know jack about fords, please excuse my ignorance. Or don't. :flipoff2:
I was thinkin ford 60 but don't know anything about em. Any suggestions? Cheap is good. Which 44 would be desirable? TTB? :rolleyes:

No TTB is the least desirable option, go post this in the Chevy forum.

already posted in the chevy forum. figured I'd ask the ford guys about a ford axle. :confused:

So TTB is bad??? :shaking: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Really?? :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Yes. Really.

You want a Ford D60. TTB? Swapping to a TTB??? Drop that idea right now. Forget a D44 too since you're gonna run 38's.

just go with a dana28 ttb, hell i'll sell you a whole dana 28 set with l4" lift! bahahahahahha

:flipoff2:

OK maybe the :flipoff2: and :rolleyes: :shaking: were too subtle.
It was a poor attempt at SARCASM. :flipoff2: I know TTB sucks. Really.

I should have been more clear with my questions. So here goes:

Which 60 should I be lookin for? Are certain years more desirable than others? Kingpin or balljoint?
If I can't find a 60, is one 44 better than another? What year, model should I be lookin under? Not 80s, 90s, right? Cause they have TTB. :)

78,79 F-350, '86-'97 F-350 for D60s.

A D44 built to handle that much tire will still cost nearly the same. Go 60.

depends on what kind of suspension you want to run.78/79's (d44's) make it difficult to run a leaf spring suspension.. 76/77 are easier but at for me, much harder to find (the 76/77's c-wedges can be cut off, where as the 78/79's are integral and not removable)

By the time you buy a D44 and put cromo's and CTM's in it it will cost as much as/more than a D60. Why bother if you're starting from scratch? Start with a D60 and do it right if you're gonna run 38's.

You know to run the ford d60 youll need a drop bracket for the Raikerman's Rod, and youll also need to fabricate a Snydler's Link.

I laughed at this, untill I realized some of the peeps we get in here probably don't get the joke. Its sad, really.

As 45acp and others said, go D60, or walk home.

already got a Snydlers link, its shiny chrome

gonna fab the raikermans rod bracket myself outta beer cans and duct tape

thanks for the replies, gonna try to find a 60 out of a 78/79, if not i'll keep my bus pass handy

feel free to delete this whole thread cause i'm sure its totally worthless for tech
