So the insurance company finally figured it all out so i was able to start working on it again.
This is the rear axle that got tagged, it got messed up haha
the shaft actually snapped
so i tore it all apart to get ready to put it back together
I bought the fullsize f150 axles and cleaned em all up and we spent the weekend puttin 5.40s in them. They were 3.50's and the carrier break for the 44 is 373 so i bought a spool instead of buying another carrier. the rear is gonna stay open until i can put a locker in it.
I was thinking about doing chev 63s in the rear since the s10 springs bent in the wreck,to get a little more flex and save some cash, the only thing i'm worried about is they aren't gonna have enough lift to match the front.
for the front i've got explorer springs but they seem a little soft as they go flat and the main leaf is bending around the second leaf so i bought some f150 springs that have a capacity of 1700 instead of 1250 so that should help. I'm also gonna move the front shackles from the rear of the spring to the front hanger like the jeeps are because i don't like the ground clearance of the shackles and the leaf angle is kind of extreme, so thats the plan as of now
