[redrocket1468]

I bent my drivers side I beam that holds the diff was wondering if someone has one for sale

junk yard dude, all day long.
would be cheaper and easier for ya.

 

[Willard]

I second the junk yard. To get one shipped would be expensive, they are big and heavy.

Out of curiosity, how did you bend a beam? They can take a lot of punishment usually before they bend.

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

yea dude, PICS!!!

 

[MrQ]

Seriously, you must have hit something pretty hard to kill that piece of iron.

you ran over a moose and didn't realize it until you got home or something?

I would say they are pretty strong. I have drive "over" my spare set a few times with the X by accident.

I've seen them for sale I "think" by LMC, but ditto to everyone else. get it from a junk yard. I pulled my set in under 1 hour using just hand tools..

Don't feel too bad-- I may have bent one too.

 

[redrocket1468]

I dropped on a pretty big rock that I was trying to miss and the truck slid right over and centered the axle right on it

 

[MrQ]

That would do it. Hmmm, I think welding some extra bracing on mine could prevent things like that. Just thinking out loud,

 

[redrocket1468]

Already had 1/4 inch steel plates ont top and bottom welded to axle to reinforce for something just incase like this event occured waste of my time apparently cause it bent anyway
