costman13's D44 SAS

Yeah you're probably right.

 

[zainyD]

Correct. I've got a set of WFO hi-steer arms on another axle, but I'm trying to sell them with the axle assembly not with the extra pair of flat top knuckles.

 

[IZwack]

Wow so knuckles and arms for that price? Amazing.

 

[costman13]

real good price.

 

[IZwack]

Wait wait wait, I just reread this thing, so it doesnt come with the WFO arms --- sorry for the confusion!

hey iz, what offset are your wheels? as i remember they have quite a bit, if so is this for clearance issues between the tires and the lower link?

My wheels are backspaced like 2.5 inches. It's a reversed wheel meaning the front is the back and the back is the front, with the center "dish" flipped 180 degrees. I had to go this route because of the 8-lug conversion on the D44 which has a larger brake rotor, and the run-of-the-mill Chevy large single-piston caliper. And soo, the typical 4" or so backspaced 15" wheel causes interference between the wheel and the caliper.

So to answer your question, no it wasnt to clear the lower link but to clear the calipers.

Ideally, but the tires I had were already 15's.
