45*...toward the rear. It will work like this,but I think that after the springs settle in that I will have to adjust. Yea....I know what would have been better. Ya gotta admit though,there are trade-offs in both set-ups. Putting the leafs on seemed to be the easiest install, but when it came to dri...

Infernal suspension!!!!!

Seems that my inexperience with suspension geometry has bit me in the butt! :mad: . Because of several factors,my front pinion angle was not "ideal". I came up with the great idea of shortening the shackles by 1 and 1/2 inches. Since I am using leafs on the front and was using the shackle ...

Pix/ideas for shock mounts

The BroIII is almost complete. I need to put some shocks on the front and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or photos of shock mounting/brackets that I could look at. I have leaf springs on the front with a D44 from an F-150. There is plenty of room since I have several inches of axle tube betwe...

I,also,am too far away. The idea of JDE having an event like the one you spoke of is great. The Rangers,BroII's,Explorers seem to very popular vehicles to modify these days.

I believe that the 77' and older 44's had the wedges welded on...not cast into the axle tube.The high-pinion,heavy duty(thicker axle tubes) 44 that I used is from(I think) a 1972 model Ford. When I was gathering parts for my leafed SOA conversion I had to be very selective in diff selection as the l...
