Earth1 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think I remember hearing him say that's the ax he used, but you should try to contact him over there if you want specifics. He's a really cool guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK9849cy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Hey fella's! Axle: 1974 Bronco with 78 Chevy outers (6lug) The rest is bascially from a 78 Big bronco with a few mods here and there. It sets the same height and looks like most lifted pathys.

It certainly is a clean looking job. The best I have seen actually. What sort of body roll do you get on corners etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 How has the OX cable locker been? I've heard of a few guys that have had probs with them. Very clean looking swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK9849cy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) The body roll is about the same as when I had IFS. The Bronco radius arms have some swaybar characteristics by design. When I pull the pin on the wristed arm it really sways around. I think most of the sway comes from the combination of rear arms being at a steep angle and the rear locker. There is something in the works to change that. I promise I will share pics when done..... sly OX lockers got a complete redesign about a year ago... Honestly I'll let you know when I get it hooked up for real. A tech is going to help me, he has had all the lockers and totally loves the OX. Time will tell....

Filthy Luker Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You have no issues with binding on the front driveshaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK9849cy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) You have no issues with binding on the front driveshaft? 1. Long Travel spline 2. The front end of the Driveshaft travels close to the same radius as the radius arms... so none there. 3. Pic is worth a thousand words...

SC88Pathy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 So did you change the rear suspension and/or axle or is it still stock nissan? What about the transfer case is that stock (yours is so clean compared to mine I can't tell).

RedPath88 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Every time I see a picture of your truck, I like it even more Great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vsicks Pathy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Your panhard arm looks like it would foul on the diff as the suspension copresses. Does it get in the way at all? If so... Why was it placed behind the diff and not in front? Any chance of a side angle pic of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 1. Long Travel spline 2. The front end of the Driveshaft travels close to the same radius as the radius arms... so none there. Interesting... My buddy had some issues at full drop, he was just gonna double up the t-case with a D300 to lengthen the front driveshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
