I dont know yet. I am even considering coils. But I am very interested in
seeing how others have handled the ties rods.
The front axle is frm a RHD and I am getting the other swivel from a LHD, so
I will have twin arms on both sides. I really do not like the way the new
swivels are only 2 bolts for the king pin. The series style with the four
bolts would make it so easy to make up my own arms that fit atop the swivel
housing.

With the 3.15 low range in the t-case, the 4.7 gearing was just too low. I
dont do any rock crawling, I found myself using 1 hi or 4 low. It was just
too low for the driving I do. Plus the fuel consumption was around 20mpg.
So ealry last fall I put a 3.54 R&P into the rear sals and a rangy center in
the front. Thre truck is too fast now. It will do 85 no problem....well
the engine will get you there, but holy crap its kinda scarey. I have had
the truck up to 95 (using GPS) and still had a long way to go on the
throttle. A series truck on super squishey springs, suspension lift and 35"
tires just aint meant to drive that fast. Off road it does great. 1-lo is
still way lower then a stock series vehicle. Fuel consumption is 25-26mpg.
I want to go to the 4.1s because I feel it will best suit my needs with the
vehicle.
The center section and inner shafts are dana 60, the outer section, swivels,
brakes etc are all standard 110 stuff.
I am also getting a rear coil housing and shafts so the front and rear are
the same width. I am paying 1200 for the front from the UK, includes
shipping to WA. I think its coming from Paddocks, but I could be wrong. I
am part of a group of people getting axles and stuff,
I am going to be getting arb carriers front and rear. The 4.1s will come
from Randy's R&P. Since the guts are all new, I will have a complete leafer
rear for sale. All new bearings, seals, and brakes.
