Dana 35 build

[4.0B2]

So since I've almost got everything for my 8.8, it's tile to stock pile parts for the d35. It's stock as of now, except some SOB stole my manual hubs. It had some warn hubs. Will I have to buy warns to replace them? They only took the outer metal part... And what else will I need for the swap in my b2. I know I need new drop brackets. Still trying to locate some cheap ones or get money together for a set on here. Also I'll be using jeep coils from a XJ hopefully. And probably an Aussie. What else, or once again do I have everything covered? What about trusses? Or is the housing plenty strong.

And I know there is an axle tech section now so if someone needs to move it they can...

i have a set of warn hubs off of a 1st gen explorer i would let go for $50 shipped.

 

[4.0B2]

Warn manual hubs? I'll take em! Pm the paypal info. What comes with them?

i thought all the drop brackets were the same??(btween d28-35)

You can't use the rough country drop plate. So the plate has to be replaced with an actual beacket.

ill swap u for my 2.6" tuff country drops

 

[4.0B2]

I don't think that's gonna drop? I plan on using a +3-4 xj coil

 

[88_Eddie]

i think you can use a drop plate, but you run the risk of punching a hole in the D35 pig.

sasquatch_ryda just posted a thread showing where he bent the driver's side beam of his D35, so no, they arent plenty strong if you plan to wheel them hard.

AllanD sells manual hubs for D35's for $90 shipped

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

I trussed the front of my drivers side D35 beam after I bent the stock one in the middle.

it will be alignable with 3" skyjacker xj coils

 

[4.0B2]

Which ones do allend sell? I have the offer on the warns which are fine in my opinion.
And I doubt id ever bend the housing but I'm building now for the future... So why not?! Lol

 

[AllanD]

The ones I sell are all whatever I find on junkyard Rangers and/or Explorers.

Ahh okay. I'm Gonna talk to baddis about the ones he has.

 

[4.0B2]

so.. instead of making a new thread,

seriouslly... best steering option are?
superrunner, modified slightly-- or stonecrusher set-up? i'm getting money together for one of them...

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Stone crusher.

 

[4.0B2]

i figured that was the answer lol, so how does that system allow the axle sides to droop without bending the steering? i know the steering flexes some but will it droop as much as the axle? or just limit the droop?

 

[The_Dealer]

shouldnt limit droop. just have bad toe change

 

[4.0B2]

I want the leaning tires when I turn fixed!!!

stone crusher is a very simple and effective idea.

only thing i'd consider to be better is a swing set (i think thats the correct term). the style that uses a dummy pitman arm on the passenger side, and a link that goes from one pitman to the other. then from each pitman to the further spindle.


i'm going with the stonecrusher idea, however putting it together myself. love projects like that

the reason it leans is because of suspension jacking due to incorrect toe angles, and ackerman angles...4x4junkie can explain it better

btw thats an idler arm set up u are refering to. the k-link steering will fix all of the problems but is rather expensive. im saving for a stonecrusher steering, as i like the heims better then the regular tres on the superrunner
