5 TON

blacksheep10 · Jun 8, 2008

I have laid hands on a set of 5 tons, and my cousin has a set fo fronts I'm supposed to sell for him. they are way too big for anything but crushing cars in the 80's. the shafts are strong enough in the 2.5 2" variety, the 3rd is overbuilt to hell (as is a dana 80), the outers are what are weak. weak is a relative term. mainly the knuckles and king pins. I don't konw of a KP failure, but a 3/4" pin is bound to fail. I would think he'd have some billet chromo knuckles made up with thicker flanges everywhere and run the rest. everything else is pretty failure free.

Clearly subterfuge.

He is hoping all you cock swingers will run out and get some 5 tons and try to beat him to the punch :flipoff1:

I look forward to seeing it too.

What is the estimated time of completion?

He was joking about using 5tons? dammit I just bought some off CL. I already use the log splitter valve thats not anything new to use Georgia boys. Good luck on your build, sounds like you gonna build a mud whompper.
