What else can I do to my front axle?
Since no one else seems to be doing anything with their truck I'll ask a silly question.
Weather permitting, I'll finally be swapping my front ring and pinion. while i have the assembly apart I'll be doing a few other mods. Not a locker because I just can afford it now.
I will clearance the u joint to prevent binding. I will also open up the shaft window a little. I'm converting to manual hubs finally. And I will eliminate the C clip using the Echo spring.
I've considered just welding the spider gears. But I don't mud play much and snow driving will be out. Mostly trails/exploring. So that's out.
So what else can I do? I've thought about boxing in the arms. Don't know if it's necessary. Are there any mods that might gain more articulation? or added strength/reliability?
I have everything hear except the lock nuts, but they should be hear by Friday/ Saturday.
