Some might call this newb tech, but I searched and could not find much info. If someone can point me towards a keyword, thread, or author of a thread, that would be great.
I am putting together my Dana 20 case with Tera-low gears with a Warn overdrive (Dana 18 offset) and am not sure what is the best route to go for the e-brake. I have rear Explorer disk brakes, with the drum insert. The question is am I better off running the e-brake from the wheels, with long cables as I am hoping for a good amount of axle movement, or use the e-brake mounted off the back of the transfer case like stock. Would a disk upgrade mounted at the t-case be even better? If so where can I get one and how much approx?
The Tom Woods driveshaft setup I used to run has a drive flange. What is stronger a drive flange or a regular yoke? Even with a lengthened wheelbase the rear driveshaft length is going to be pretty short again so every bit I can squeeze out of it helps.
Also does anyone know about how far back an axle mounted on stock YJ springs with 4.5 inch shackles will move back under compression? I am trying to roughly calculate body and fuel tank mounting along with rear fender trimming.
Thanks,
Peter
