Of coarse YOUR favorite 17welds has them available with the correct brake encoder film built in, but no...
An option for HD unit bearings would be FANTASTIC! And options for the press-in OEM upper and lower ball joints would make it longterm maintenance free setup. I'd pull the trigger on this setup for our ranger raptor.
On the rear 3 link, Im not a fan of the non-triangulated upper control...
Do his fabricated knuckles use the same OEM wheel bearings and OEM stub axle? Seems like the weak point compared to others F450 unit bearings with 35 or 40 splines...? The additional wheel travel must be at the outer limits of OEM CVs?
Yeah the OX has a good reputation for strength and reliability.
Im gonna try the Auburn Select-a-lok, its a tough design with 4 spiders and big engagement teeth, you can even engage the locker under power!
I've e had the Ultimate-60 for 2 yrs w/o any issues, until recently it broke. Specifically the 2 spider older Elocker 2 is what failed...Shocked and disappointed to learn spicer sells these "Ultimate" replacement axles with HD bearings, thicker tubes, and chromalloy shafts when they skimped...
So maybe dana spicer is coming out with a "super 44"?
I've lost 50 yrs of faith with Spicer, after realizing they sell the Ultimate-60 rear axle with a puny outdated 2-spider version of the E-Locker, mine broke!!! (couldn't be from the 800hp V8 and jumbo 41" tires??? 🤪)
Sheared off the side...
I recall the plug behind behind the upper trim panel on the rear upper inner portion of the roof. I think it just pops off...the plug has about 1 foot of wire from where it slides into the window Chanel on the drivers side.
