If thats a stock axle w/o any modifications, thats waaay to expensive.

 

[tha704mafia]

yeah its stock nothing done to it. Can i convert a hp44 out of a bronce to run leafs?

 

[IZwack]

Sure, with enough work.

 

[tha704mafia]

with enough work that most of the time means its a ***** to do, besides what do you get more flex/lift out of leafs or coils?

It's not too difficult, hardest parts are going to be

1) The driver's side spring perch usually ends up on the differentials so I think most people end up mounting the leaves outboard of the chassis.

2) Slicing the inner knuckle or "C" to set the proper caster angle.


As I said in our conversation via PMs, look over the other SAS threads. In particular, look at Section525's SAS thread, I think he used a Wagoneer D44 with leaves.

I think in general, almost all of the SAS configurations has been done on this forum so most of you're questions should be somewhere in those threads -- you just gotta do lots of digging . But hey, thats part of research and planning

Also, for the Wagoneer axle, dont pay more than about $200 for a stock one.

I have a fullsize ford axle and waggys leafs, the drivers perch is half on half off the cast part, easy to make work.
