I was told that it's likely not an issue with a full floater axle, but that it wasn't the best idea with a semi float setup.

^^^ agree with above regarding swapping to the stock f350 8x170 hubs. That way you don’t have to buy the custom and very expensive quigley hubs when they wear out. Plus they are easy to find. Providing of course you have that style of axle. Also, instead of spacers in the rear I put the 10.5...

^^^ if its a Quigley you can call/email them with your vin and they will tell you exactly what axle it left them with.

maybe give this thread a read? the guy who started that thread got his custom springs in about a week iirc. http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f33/sourcing-custom-leafsprings-is-hard-22507.html

8 or 9 will be the rim width (or 7, or 6.5 etc, etc). measured from inside lip to inside lip. NOT outside to outside. as far as offset, you will want to google that. lots of info out there explaining offset and backspacing and how it pertains to what youre trying to achieve. but in short....

ujoint sells a kit for this as neither the stocker lines or the newer lines will really work. I still need to do mine too after the conversion. when we first got the axle in it looked like you could just move the rear cable hanger on the drivers side forward and make it work, but I haven't had...

no thread yet. now that I cant spend hours and hours screwing off online with the new job I haven't got around to setting up an account to replace photobucket. I started a thread about offroad Hondas a while ago, but it got derailed and there wasn't much Honda interest here, so I never really...

That magnetic mic hold is cool. Good strength magnet? Bumpy roads won’t knock it off? Was the euro crv equipped with adjustable lights? Always wanted those for my wagon but never found a good enough deal to justify the purchase. Squirters are a great idea for muddy trails! I’ve rigged up...

Looks good man! Love the ram mounts. We have one in the van for the ipad and it works great. We set it up so that it can face my navigator most of the time but it can easily be facing me when she’s not with me. Handy stuff for sure! Am I offbase base assuming youre a jdm slut? Only time I’ve...

Id call around and ask if they have any techs old enough to know how to align a vehicle without an alignment rack. Those guys will understand what needs to be done. Seems like most techs these days only understand how to run an alignment rack, not how to actually align a vehicle.

saw this post before a camping trip this past weekend and paid attention since I didn't know stock boost numbers. I believe I have a tc 6 position tuner as well (with only 4 positions) and always run the 75 tune since I don't have supporting mods for the higher hp levels. I saw 19.9 lbs a few...

600 now?! That’s insane. I paid 400ish just a year and a half ago and they had a 50 buck rebate going on. It was hard enough choking out 350... no way in hell I’d pay 600. Will be so glad when/if the vanlife trend dies down. I can’t tell you what those are from but I remember seeing somewhere...

^^^ he just put it up for sale last sunday.

^^^ That’s the problem these days. The younger techs only know how to work the machine and follow its instructions, not fully understanding how to actually align the vehicle without a fancy machine telling them what to do.

^^^ just google ford econoline camber kits and plenty of moog options come up. Ingalls engineering has been making camber and caster correction kits for as long as I can remember and a lot of companies put their name on their products. Not sure if they have a solution for the econolines or not...

guess their level of service continues to escalate! that's awesome. sorry for my misinformation. I couldn't afford anything from Quigley. I even converted to 8x170 so I wouldnt have to buy their custom bearing replacements. be glad you have neighbors willing to help. most of mine wont even...

^^^ the rip kit doesn't replace any parts from what was listed by cjken. depending on the level of rip kit you purchased, it usually replaces shocks, springs (front and/or rear), and possibly the steering damper(s) from a Quigley. unless of course you dequiglfied and went with a full agile...

great video, that's a awesome van, but damn, are you like 8' tall or standing on milk crates or something?

I was stoked to find the smb forum after fb killed all the other forums I used to frequent. Then it started slowing down on the content I enjoyed. It happened right about the time it was sold or reformatted or whatever changed. So I started spending more time here and ya, the content I enjoy is...

I have around 8' from floor to highpoint of roof when top is up, but I don't think ccv offers the fiberine top I have anymore. iirc, the tallest part of my top is 14" and the lowest part is 10". I have 4' between top of bed and roof.
