hey guys, im semi new to the forum and have been creepin around studying alot of build threads and i have laid out my plan. Specs: 90 hardbody v6 ex cab
Im going to go with the obvious choice of a waggy dana 44. Ive got my spring hanger, shackles and u bolt kits shipping in from calmini as we speak. Now to the questions.
What leaf packs should i run for 35s? I want it to sit low enough so its easy for my 55 year old dad to get in and out of without too much trouble.
I would like to keep the stock rear axle, on the door jam it says HG46 which i believe is the h233 with 4.625:1 ratio which should turn 35s descently, until i can save up for new gear sets. Do they make a 4.625 for the 44? if not which gear sets can i match with both axles?
Steering: I would prefer not to buy a high steer kit and build my own set up. What options do i have here? Or do any of you know of a good kit for a descent price?
I am also tossing around the idea of just going with a ford 9 or 14 bolt but i would like to keep the cost as low as possible.
thanks guys -spencer
