For those who are runnin 40\'s?????????????

I am getting ready to do the axle swap and put on my 39.5 irok's and i have a question. Did you leave your front axle in the stock location or did you move it forward with a zero rate? I just dont want to get it in then have to take it all apart to install a zero rate so it wont rub the fire wall! Also on a side note, will a zero rate, setting the axle back 1.5"s be enough correction on the rear when i do a echobit flip and go from 10 bolt to a 14ff?

I think this all depends on how much lift you have. I'm running 39.5 tsl's but I only have 4" BDS springs and have the zero rate in there moving it an inch forward and I think its just right for my truck.

So you have no rub issues at the firewall when stuffed?
That is what i wanted to hear!

If i hit really hard in the front, my 38s would hit the rear. i moved my axle forward 1 1/4" and have not had a prolem since. this is with a D60 and 6"-7" lift.

i only have 2.5in lift /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif so yes if i flex it out hard they will rub but under about half flex to maybe 3/4 flex they don't rub /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif now as soon as i get my 4in lift on i should be able to flex way more /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I have a D44 with 4.5" of lift. At full stuff my 37's rub the firewall on both sides. I got a D60 comin in and we'll see if it gets better. I am going to 40's in the summer and will use a z-rate to avoid the firewall. As for the z-rate to axle change height, I can't sat. A D60 in the front will even out a 14FF in the rear. So you kinda break even.

I am hearing alot about those zero rate springs. What are the best ones to look at? How much are they?

I ran 40's with 4" lift and sagging body mounts. Under a hard, hard compression, the would hit the firewall. On the last hit, It tore the body off the mount. but they were toast anyways!

I moved my D60 forward 1 1/4" without using a zero rate. My 40's don't hit the firewall/floorboard area at full stuff and turned. I re-drilled the perches and clearanced the spring plates to move the diff...I didn't want more lift.
