38.5's will they rub

[crazyredneckanyhow]

You just joined last month and with your 36 posts you already think youre the **** dont you? Son you need to sit back and keep your mouth shut so you can learn a few things before you spew like a ****ty babies ass. My sig is to make fun of all the ghetto fab **** that goes on around here. You wanna really know what my current project is? 1979 F-350 crewcab longbed. Four wheeldrive conversion. 5.9 ltr Cummins turbo diesel/getrag 5 spd. Im running dual NP205 transfer cases. Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear with Detroits on both ends and 4.10:1 gears. Dually conversion. Crossover steering and power assist. Let me know what you dont understand so i can clear it up for you.

Im outa here before my ass gets the boot again.

I don't really care what your building, I didn't ask. Good luck with it though, and I hope it works out for you.

well wonder how many cummins conversions he has done. i have done a couple myself. could probably lend some usefull knowledge. but dont feel like it for some reason. weird. enjoy the getrag360 too they are crap compared to a nv4500

[crazyredneckanyhow]

Comin from a guy that runs 44s on a 44 front with 3.54 gears you dont have any knowledge to offer up. I did that **** when i was 16. You need to grow up and learn how things work.

[Craigmire]

you dont even want to know the other truck pal. i say nothing on here because its a 1970gmc. that not really for ford enthusiasts. reason i dont put dana 60 and change gears as this truck plans on resto. the gmc has about 15 inches of lift. 0 body 49" super swamper iroks dana 60 front coporate 14 rear with detroit locker and cummins 6bt with your lovely pos getrag. which is getting changed out after this months camping trip. look in my pictures im going camping with both on one trailer. an is being pulled by a duramax. guess what thats mine too. i think you need to sit down and really stop posting anything else in here not reflecting very good on you. and have a look at my pictures and what my dana 44 can and will do. i put that 44 through alot more **** than most dana 60 drivers cant without breaking it.

Ok so you have a big **** mud truck. Your point being what?

[captain p4]

lololol

hockey puck body lifts and 44's on d44s.. FTE IS AWEOSME!@@!!!!!11




oh and cut your fenders, then they won't rub. 36's were close on my bronco when I had no lift, which should be a fairly close comparison to your truck.

[crazyredneckanyhow]

Paul Shhh dont say anything productive he might get the wrong idea.

[captain p4]

lookie here cheeto, you has a 6 inch body lift so your opinion is worhtless!!

woo woooooooooooooooooo

[crazyredneckanyhow]

yeah your just mad you couldnt stick a ttb in your bronco. you had to settle for junky 1 tons. I guess instead of wasting countless dollars on a suspension lift i should just jack the truck up and weld some box tubing between the frame rails and the axle housing. Think bout 30" would work?

Let's get it back to the topic and learn some new adjectives. There is no good reason for all the profanity we've seen here.

[captain p4]

dude just use some scaffolding ! that stuff is cheap, and isn't meant to be used in a truck so it'd be PERFECT!

I used 1500 lbs as a MAX, so if its less than that just imagine there being two fat bitches riding shotgun on the bench seat. There's your added 600. If its less thats even better, less weight on the mounts. A hockey puck won't have any problem supporting a 150 pounds.

I'm no genius but I am two years from my Mechanical Engineering degree. I have a little understanding of whats going on as far as internal forces that hockey puck has to withstand. I wouldnt recommend doing this if it wouldn't work.

I could do an analysis with a hockey puck to prove it but I'm not going to waste my time, I'd lose you real quick.

I'd like to see that analysis/breakdown!

Speaking of breakdown - I have seen hockey pucks used before and they sure do break down! Heck - I've seen 2 stacked and used as lowering block (like lift blocks, but on a spring under - Nissan - application), and they did not hold up well at all. In fact they cracked and broke and came out. That's fun when driving

Sure hockey pucks COULD be used, but it's a matter of SHOULD they be used? Yes, using them as body pucks is not putting the same loads on them as using them for body mounts, but they still will break down.

Just turn down some aluminum bar and drill the center.

I know you are not an engineer yet, but it surprises me that someone in that field is suggesting what you are. No I am not an engineer, but I am surrounded by them (brother is aerosspace/mechanical dual major now going into his masters. Other brother was mechanical changed to manufacturing and now going for his masters, dad is electrical and practices as licensed civil, good buddy is mechanical, etc.) and I definitely understand the principals they deal with, and one thing you are not counting on here is the fatigue of the part. Hockey pucks are MUCH harder than the rubber in body mountsm and the hockey pucks break down and crack - especially if they heat cycle a bit...

and before you go asking my credentials and what I have built - have a look for yourself. There's some good stuff if you search around a bit...
