Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

So my Dad bought this for me while I am deployed overseas. He doesn't know much about, I am trying to figure what the front axle is, I believe its a Dana 44? And I am not sure how tall the lift is in this, I think its a 6" but not sure.Does this look like drop pit man arm. I have never owned a lifted leaf spring truck so I am not familiar with this stuff. Any help would be great,thank you.


Any guess on the lift size and front axle?

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

The front axle is definitely a corporate 10 bolt. I know you don't have a raised steering arm, so I'm assuming a drop pitman arm is there in its place. How tall are your tires, 33" or 35"? If those are 33's, you have a 4" lift. If those are 35's, 6".

Well that blows, they are 33's but they a bald, the back has what looks like a 4" block. It has rancho shockcs too.Thanks for you help man.:banghead:

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

Your pitman arm is stock.

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

Doesn't look like a drop arm is on there. That is a pretty harsh angle on the link. Looks just like mine before the raised arm install...

I am sure thats why my dad said the tires are chopped.Thanks for the help guys

I still think I did ok buying this truck,700 bucks, does have a ****ty 305 and 700r4 tranny,its from North Dakota so being up in Minnesota trucks this solid is really rare.

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

That's easy to fix. All of those things are bolt-on. If it has a solid body, you're leaps and bounds ahead of where I started. For $700 you stole it.

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

Yeah its really solid just paint faded and some small dings,I think I might paint it and fix the small things like tires, seals steering arm etc, etc and just running 33's for a while until i can locate some axles,CUCV 14FF and Dana 60 with 456's and steping up the lift,rims,tires,tranny,Tcase.

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

Good buy. That's probably an 8.5" 10 bolt judging by the little squares sticking out on the bottom. AND thank you for your service !

Thanks Man, cant wait to get home and start turn wrenches on it.

Re: Please look, need help with lift and axle identifcation
 

Judging by the clearance over the 33's, the lift is only 4" also, not 6". The steering wouldn't have even bolted up without any correction on a 6" lift.
