Too bad Level II rear axles were discontinued before disk brakes became avaliable. That would be the ultimate in sought after axles.

I saw you mentioned wanting D35 spindles earlier... Did you mean from a TTB ranger?

yes, you can pull the snouts and use them on fabricated spindles for more strength. kinda want the bigger 44 snouts though..

Ok, so if you used a D35 snout, how would you seal the ends? They dont exactly accept dust caps. The original setup uses flang-mount 4x4 hubs to cap off the ends.

I like bolt-ons. I would have to pay to have somebody to weld new shock mounts and spring perches.

Re: Morgan's 2004 ranger

Re: Morgan's 2004 ranger

Re: Morgan's 2004 ranger
kinda wanna throw the shell on for shits and gigs this weekend. but itll be that much more work taking it off when i go to do my 63s.. which needs to happen soon, hopefully before the pismo meet (22-23rd of june for anyone interested). also, if i do 63s the disk swap will have to wait till i can fab a bracket for the ebrake cable. which should i do first? springs or brakes?
a little to do list before the meet:
disk brakes
chevy 63s
cb/pa setup
paint grill
new uniballs
new bushings
alignment
oil change
flowmaster 44 offroad edition dumped
possible tranny flush
possibly tint if i have spare cash..
and last i need to detail the f outta this slooter..

Re: Morgan's 2004 ranger
its beyond tempting to do the disks first, but with a bent main leaf on one side the 63s on my porch are calling my name.
