14 bolt swap questions
 
I have a HO52 in my sub. I want better gear options so I'm looking to swap in a 14 bolt. I have coil spring suspension. What do I look for when locating a 14 bolt? I plan on having it gone thru before installing it. I'd like a direct bolt in if possible. If not how close to direct bolt in can I get?

Specifics would be great. Can I use leaf spring axle. Will the e break cables direct connect etc.

There is no "bolt in" option as the 14 bolt never came in a coil spring truck. You will also get better traction on this if you move it from the "Builds" section. Probably in the main forum you will get the most action.

Buy aftermarket perches and build a jig off the HO52. Weld perches and shock mounts to the 14 bolt and then swap into truck.
