I'm doing d44 front super duty axle prices have went nuts.

Somehow I've missed this!

I'm kinda hung up on how to transfer my center line from the fender io the frame so to take a break from that I decided to clean up the front bumper and gey my winch plate positioned.

Drilled and welded some alignment dowl to the frame plate just to make sure the plate goes back on after I pull it off and fully weld the coil buckets to the plate.

Got the frame rails cleaned up i actually only used one flap disc and two cutoff wheels. Modified both of the wfo frame plates and the bulge on the passenger side frame.

Also found out that a front driveshaft for a 99 Durango is the perfect fit for this application. The 1500 ram one is 4" too long. I was hoping to slide the 1500 slip yoke on the Durango shaft but no go. The d44 has 1330 joints and the Durango has 1310 joints luckily a 1330x1310 joint is readily...

Picked up the diff cover for the d44 I dig it. It's really darn close to the stamped cover in size.

nothing to see here....;)

Glad to see the rig still on the road. Your Tahoe is the reason I decided to build mine.

Yeah it really grinds down quickly....

Got everything cut off the frame. I've either really screwed up or I'm really doing something cool.

This is the stuff I have to save that will bolt onto the d44

Tore the bumper and skids off the front and under the front end..and I will be welding a ruff stuff winch plate in between the frame after removing the skid portion of the bumper there is no reason to keep the winch on the bumper.

Full droop the upper arms hit the tire. So should I use wheel spacers or redo the links with 1.25 tubing?

As soon as I get the rear done I'm going to spin it around in the shop and start tearing the the IFS crud off the frame.

Got all the rear links built, painted, and installed...1.5x.25 dom uppers 2x.25 dom lowers, 1.25 x.120 panhard ( I bought this one if I was to do it again I would just build 1.5 x.25 panhard.

Got alot done today help my dad pull the transmission in his truck, got all the weld washers put on the link brackets, and got the tear upper links welded up. 1.5 x 0.25 dom it's a little over kill but its what I have on hand. 3/4" rod ends and 5/8" hardware. When I get the lower links built...

Started tearing out the rear axle. Took a base measurement of 11.25 inches of travel in the rear from bumpstop till the swaybar contacted the diff cover with the h2 rear springs. Got all the brake parts pulled off to swap over to the donor axle. Opened the diff cover to pull the axles and man...

Not much today i replaced the wheel bearings and seals also replaced the pinion seal, mounted some brake line tabs to the axle and figure out how I want to bend the oem brake lines to fit around the new track bar bracket.

Worked on getting the avalanche rear axle ready to swap in. Put weld washers on the brackets I figure getting rid of bushings and going with rod ends it would be a good investment.. also got the jk rear track bar modified and welded on. I picked up a rear track bar a while back that is a little...
