D44/9" Swap

I got my donor vehicle home yesterday, It is a 78 f-150 with a 4" lift
I am going to the leave the axles full width. Intially I plan on putting a detroit locker in the 9 with yukon 4.56 gears and the 44 is getting a yukon 4.56's, ARB locker.
The Radius arm brackets from the f-150 will be bolted to explorers frame.
I would like to box and extend the radius arms with a heim joints

Since those ARB's appear to just be taking up space, you can ship them to Lawrenceville, GA. If you want, you can also ship over the axles. I'll even pay for shipping!

Thanks guys When I got home tonight and saw them sitting on the floor, I could not think where to ship them

No no, I PMed him and he's already packing the D44 ARB for me. He said he'd have it in UPS' hands by morning. Im looking forward to my next transaction with this seller.

The delivery man has keys to your house!!!!

Fine IZ, you can have the ARB for the front. As long as I get the axles and ARB for 9"!

Especially if she shows up with a box that says creme on the side.

life is good

4.88's and master install kits and new 5.5 wild horse springs (they are on special for $99)

still waiting on rear spring perches and front shock mounts to come.

 

[IZwack]

i swear, every box that arrives at ur door is blue.

I talked to the guy who is going to set up my axles and it is going to be about 10 days before he gets time for them :thumbdwn:

 

[jrgaylor]

I am still waiting on my guy to finish up my axles, but it quit raining here so I made some progress in mounting the ARB compressor and swithces.

Lookin' good! Did you have to remove anything to put the compressor in?

I doubt it, that's where I put my tranny filter/temp sensor. There's almost enough room for a second battery if he'd gone with E Lockers. Then he'd have the extra power for the winch and stereo and electric cooler and, and, and

You could have cleaned it a little first, Joe

There was some sort of emissions box, that needs to go back in directly below the compressor, I know someday we will have testing here.

Phil- I did use the pressure washer on it earlier, it I got the X to clean then I would have to think about removing some dents
