More Beef

Just added alot more beef to my D60 front end.

Decided to install a spool in place of the limited slip but just couldn't stop there.

Total install includes:
* Full spool
* New inner/outer 4340 axle set
* Heavy duty u-joints (not going CTM or Yukon just yet)

** New front drive shaft from High Angle Driveline
Shaft spces are:
* custom flange kit
* 2-1/4" tube
* 1350 CV
* Long slip shaft (as in 12" of slip joint baby!)
* 1410 yolk @ the diff
* and of course bigger beefier u-joints

Just thought I'd share.
Pics of the axles didn't make it but after the splines, there's NO taper, just all shaft.

Re: More Beef

Sounds like some great upgrades. Definitely know you will put it to the test.

Re: More Beef

Sweet! Guess the hydro assist has its advantages when it comes to overcoming big meats and spools. When you going to try it out?

Going to finish it today (sat 7th) and dub around some in the woods with it up behind the shop.

The real (better) test is coming up next weekend when we go wheeling over with the boys in NY.
