My shafts bigger than yours...

[willyswanter]

My left rear portal box on my 416's was locked up with rust, the previous owner let water sit in it for a few years... Anyway, got another one from a guy on pirate and it showed up today. Came with a spare short side axle shaft, just thought I'd compare to a Yukon 35 spline dana 60 stub

Ah another 404 lover, if you only knew the differences between 404 boxes and 406/416 boxes

Send me some money and it will go faster

 

[mikey_d05]

Do 406's have the 404 type diff or the round one where the tubes bolt to the sides?

 

[willyswanter]

Where the tubes bolt to the sides.

Are you doing your pinion conversions or you having them built? If you are doing them I would really like to see yours when done.

 

[willyswanter]

Doing my own along with 8 lug discs. Should be done in a few weeks.

 

[jekbrown]

those are some big suckers alright... whats the minor diameter on them? They look damn near as big as OEMs rocky stuff. How many splines do those things have?

I was thinking mog 416's however.. I was told that mog axles and mud = alot of money to keep them together..... what is your thoughts on that?

I was contemplating them due to NJ only allows 38" tall tires... so if you ran 44's..... 44 - 38 = 6" difference.. however you only get 1/2 lift from tires so
6 / 2 = 3" more ground clearance.. so I could run my hawgs and mogs... and have diff clearance better than a truck on 44's... nice thing about that is you really get hung up on the axles... so that would be awesome!!!!!!

 

[willyswanter]

I already avoid mud like the plague so I don't see it being a problem.

 

[84K5BD]

not me i have 416's too. 2 fronts and 2 rears sitting in my garage. i'm going to use them on my next build. do yours have the reinforced portals? they have the x pattern on the boxes. what calipers/ rotors are you gonna use for your disk conv.? i would like to see some pics, of what you come up with.

 

[willyswanter]

Thats a 406, early 416 only deal. The late model 416's share the same heavy casting boxes that the U1000's and U1300's use.

Brake parts are a secret so far

 

[84K5BD]

do you have a pic of it.

 

[willyswanter]

Of the brakes? There not on yet.
