Got the diff put together, torqued down and welded then installed, backlash looks great. Disk brake flanges are on and fully welded. Since I'm using the 14bolt FF hubs on the Dana70HD dually axle I welded the flanges on at 3-5/8", that left me 5/8" between the bracket and the rotor. I need to drill out a couple holes (threaded holes) on the caliper brackets and I'm going to use shoulder bolts with lock nuts instead. Calipers are good, painted them orange today, just need some new pads. I got the hummer rims mounted up and everything clears, backspace looks awesome. Need to run my hard lines on the axle. The Wheel-Mounting-Surface (outside of hub to outside of hub) is 77.5" With the hummer rims on the outside edge of the rims measure 84". Its going to be like having the wide ZR2 stance on a fullsize! haha Went to every place in Frankfort and dad stopped in Lafayette and we could only find 6 wheel studs, so I need 10 more. I slid the driveshafts in and stuck in a bolt in both sides. I spun the pinion and it spun around easily, seeing both rims rolling forward was nice (welded/locked diff)!
I would like to replace the spindle nuts, the ones I have are kind of beat up, you can tell they used a punch to take them off at one time.
Once I get the wheels studs and install them, pop on the new pads, run the hard lines, drill out and replace a couple bolts, move the spring perchs and get the tires on the hummer rims it will be ready to roll! Sounds like a lot but not really.
Ok the pictures should have loaded so here ya go!
