Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
double ugh, i should call and confirm these are the brackets i need for my C&C 14b. i have the C&C hubs but not a dually C&C rear end and these look to have the right offset.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I feel like I should just go to some big ass axles. How hard is it to shorten an axle? I am thinking that I may just skip the 36s and go straight to 37s or 38s. Hell if I get bored with the sawzall in my hand maybe even end up clearing 39s or 40s :gee::laugh:
So I take it the 14 bolt is strong but huge, D70 is strong but smaller than a 14 bolt, 14 bolt is cheap but big, and D60 is somewhere in between? Now I am starting to get myself confused. Maybe I will just pick up the D60/D44 from a 79 F-150 that I was looking at. Just gotta find out how difficult it would be to shorten them a bit.
There's a 4dr JK around my area that is on what I think are 38x13.50 or 14.50's (I see it in Bridgewater from time to time and once or twice on 495). Looks to be stock width and I never really got a good look under it, but for some reason I want to say it has stock axles. And I don't even think it's a Rubicon.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
rear 60 are weaksauce compared to the others. 14b vs 70 strength can be argued all day, 14b seem to have more options and factory configurations out there (63.5" wide C&C axle was the reason i got a 14b).
Shortening axles is fun. time comsuming but nothing really needed to do it, jsut triple check measurements and stuff. for bonus points when narrowing an axle, see if there is a stock sized shaft that also works with that axle. then when you narrow, shafts are cheaper and easier to find. exmaple, 80's waggy shafts in a narrowed HP44

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
its not as easy as just tossong some one tons under a xj, you will need to brace the unibody or it will get destroyed very quickly, and as far as rear 60, like ross said in stock form there weak sause compared to the 70 or 14bt

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Please expand that there C&C for those of us who are not knowledgeable of what this stands for? :dunce: But I do like the idea of a 63.5" width.
A while ago I was looking into a HP44 largely because I could use the waggy shafts (and because they aren't that expensive)... but that was a while ago and now I forget how wide the waggy 44 was and would have to build my rear axle to match. Would the ford HP44 would work with waggy shafts? Or am I overlooking something and being all dumb and such right now?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
C&C = Cab & Chassis. theyre the 1 ton trucks/vans that come from the factory with no bed or anything. mine is outta a chevy 1 ton van with single rear wheels. its the narrowest factory 1 ton axle. theres a d70 version, but its like 65.5" wides.
Drive drop waggys (80's one) are like 61-62" wide. people cut down the tubes on the HP44's in order to get a stockish width upgrading axle
Front axles are easier to narrow IMHO. you cant really put an inner C back on wrong, just gotta set the caster angle to what you want.
