Couldn't find one so I made my own, not quite 15" but 14.235" dia with F450/550 calipers. Build thread here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=835793 http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=481781&stc=1&d=1258855926...

Clark, congrats!!! But some of us cannot see the pictures.

Chris, it's reassuring that 36 inches floor height is not that much of a lift (although my wife won't even try to climb up now :-) and that a trackbar isn't necessary. Actually the total height increase from stock is 7-inch suspension lift (due to solid axle) + 3 inches due to the bigger...

15-inch front brake rotors I think U-joint has them in his van. Does anyone know a source for 15-inch brake rotors with the 8x6.5 bolt pattern?

Ntsqd, yes very unconventional indeed, so naturally may be frowned upon or looks stupid! But believe it or not the rig drives great even without shocks, steering stabilizer/damper, trackbar or anti-sway bar, just as fine as when it was 2WD and 2.5 inches lower. I drove it through the slalom of...

This anti-sway bar search was for naught :-( and before Brian steps forward and says: " Art, your axle came with the stock Ford anti-roll bar" I have to admit I had a senior moment. I had set it aside away from all this build and forgot about it - it was there sitting in my tool truck with all...

The floor in the main cab (behind the front seats) of my van is 36 inches. It goes up a little toward the back of the van due to the rake.

NTSQD, it's leaf sprung using a 5-leaf 4-inch lift Superlift spring pack, with one leaf removed (too high). Therefore it's using a 4-leaf 2.75-inch lift leaf-pack. The springs are 3-inch wide. Here's the build: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30892

OK, so I want to ask the question: If you can use only one of the two, which one would you rather have: trackbar or anti-sway bar? It's getting too crowded under there to have both. The use is 99% highway or offroad flatlands, 1% rockcrawling.

I saw this on pirate4x4 - where can i get the end links? Another question is: Does the anti-sway bar take the place of the track/panhard bar?

Anybody using a stabilizer bar / anti-sway bar on a front Dana 60? If not, what are the alternatives? My Van-RV, before I installed the Dana 60 axle in the front, had this u-shaped anti-sway bar connected at both sides of the frame and slip-fit (not bolted) inside bushings on the A-arms on both...

Now, I need to know if I could mount both shocks behind the front axle. Why does the passenger side shock have to be in front? Note: This rig will be driven 2WD 99.5% of the time; I have the ARB locker in the dually rear axle. The front axle drive will be engaged for rare and short but extremely...

78Bronco, Ntsqd, thanks both for dropping by and helping. I agree 5100's not gonna work. My RV had them, pre-D60 install, and one of them froze during my 8-hour washboard drive to Puertecitos-Chapala in Baja. I did decide and bought the shocks - they're for Class 3 to 6 trucks (aka 10000lbs...

Now that I have the Dana 60 axle under the front of my RV, the old shocks (14.86 inches extended, 9.86 inches compressed) are too short now. The new ride height shock absorber eye-to-eye length is 16.26 inches; therefore I need FRONT shocks that are about 20 inches extended and at least 13...

BigAl, I'm getting an extra 2 inches of lift (note: previously it had a Fabtech 2WD 4.5-in spindle lift). So, it actually now has 6.5 inches of lift, add 2.5 more inches due to the 19.5 wheels/taller tires and the total ride height increase from stock is 9 inches). I now have to have my rear...

Brian, yes, that was your axle. A year and a half went by so fast! I finally got to putting it to good use.

Spence, you're not the first one to say that :-) But I like to take baby steps and learn in the process. Thanks for the compliments.
