Yes oem coils. Rides great.

Thought I’d flex the rear too. Same stack as the front.

Sketchy Driveway flex. A little over 29” under the tire. I think each corner still has about an inch of movement.

So while sulking in my costly mistake I decided to finish the table portion of my fold out sleeping platform. Working on finishing the sleeping platform in the back of the burb. It mounts to the drawers I built in the back and folds up accordion style. I threw this together one afternoon before...

unfortunately I didn’t realize the gmt400 9.5s came in two different widths the axle I have only has a 65.5” wheel mounting surface width. 3 inches narrower than the 10 bolt. The heavy half ton axle shafts I was going to buy to stick in this axle are about 1 3/8” longer per side, so that mean’s...

I wish I could tell you. I’ve only one got about 300 miles on it.

Stripped down and the gouges I made are welded up. The tubes are pitted where the u bolt plates were. .115” don’t think I’m going to weld those they are wide.

Picked up a 9.5” 14 bolt semi floater from a 99 k2500. Plan on cutting all the brackets and brake stuff off the 10 bolt and gluing it on the 9.5. I was disappointed about the g80 I was told it had a open diff. Clean up to begin shortly.

Unfortunately I will not. I am picking up a 9.5” 14 bolt tomorrow but it will probably be a couple of months before I have the funds to build the axle.

Put my limit straps on the front tonight and since the trucks not mobile I tried to flex it in the shop LOL. Also installed the cure from @ruffstuffdpecialties to try and minimize the tie-rod and drag link flop from having to bend them for clearance.

. No tone rings in the rear. If I go ff in the rear and the light duty 2500 hubs in the front I will have to figure something out with the abs the dodge doesn’t have wheel speed sensors on the wheel bearings. I also looked and to convert the semi floater to 6 lug, change the gears, and rug up...

Same kind of shenanigans too

I believe I’m going with a 14 bolt semi floater open diff and a lunch box locker in it. I have a steal on a ff 14 bolt with 4.10s already and I can convert my current dodge Dana 44 front to 8 lug with wheel bearings from an mid 90s 2500 light duty. But unsure if my current brake set up will work.

They go for any where around 200 to 500 around here. I’m going to take some measurements today to see if I can put move the brake backing plate mount from the 10 bolt to a older 9.5 that already has 4.10s. I’m confident in welding brackets on but not do with a gear change.

So it shattered the rectangular piece in the g80 and cleaned the driver side spider gear, it sent parts everywhere inside but surprisingly the gears look good. Now I have a dilemma replace the carrier and run the 10 bolt or buy a 9.5 rear from a newer model gm suv and swap to 4.10s

Here is the first pop. 0-60 runs compairing the times with the 3.73 gears vs 4.10. https://youtube.com/shorts/BbHH7dDBkuI?feature=share

I assume when I get it out I will know more, I'm looing into the Semi float 14 bolt that came in later model Tahoe's and Suburban's and Silverado's for that matter it is the 9.5" I really dont want the ff 14bolt because they hang so far down and 35's is as big as I'll ever go. "I think" but the...

well its better now than 15 miles down a trial 6 hours from home... If a couple of 0-60 runs took something out I'm positive in low range on the rocks would have left me stranded on my upcoming trip.. well not upcoming anymore not enough time to find and axle replace what needs be and weld on...
