Dan, stock D60 outers are 30 spline not the inners. D70 just has 35 spline inners/outers.

I wouldn't think twice about running a 11.2-24 on a set of tons with 35 spline outters.

Did you guys look at the pics?! They are half shot skinny ags.

Put tons in it, run them tell you break, than upgrade as needed.

 

i realized my mistake about an hour ago. didn't feel like editing. been reading up on shackle reversals and such, but hey thanks for pointing that out :flipoff:

 

Y shackle reversals?

 

check teh offroad section. made a new thread. it will fill you in.

 

The only part i disagree with is NOT ALL of us run on top of the mud, I personally run Hill and Hole pits and Flat bog pits that run anywhere from 2'-4' of mud and where not always straight either, ive had numerous passes that the only way ive made it out is ive cut the wheel and found a new path mid track and done it numerous times... ive easily gone 250-275' in a 200 foot pit hitting walls and catching air and so on so before you lump all us 'racers' together look at the types of racing, Ive watched guys shatter 1 ton units with 38's and then i go threw the same rut take the same bounce and keep going un broken with my 1/2 ton stuff im not saying that there stronger im just saying that when your actually mud bogging most the time we fight for distance rather than time because the **** is just that deep and sticky hell i spend a minimum of 5h cleaning after a minute or 2 of racing ive had nights that i watch trucks getting stuck on or before the starting line and nights that ive started on my axles with 38's and fight and claw for every inch i make it when it takes you a minute to go 30 feet and your spinning 6200 RPM in second that puts alot of wear on everythang and when you stop you cant see cause there 6-8" of mud caked over your windsheild

take it for what its worth but the actuall Mud bogging side of racing flat bog pits and Hill and hole tracks aint no easier on parts than what there doing

 

Well said Larry! I'm in the same boat up here. 90% of the tracks I run are deep thick Virginia clay that you have to claw your way through. I have 1 hill and hole track and 2 flat speed pits that my little ranger comes alive. The rest, I'm spinning 7200rpm in all 3 gears to get through.

 

the only hills and holes i'm concerned with are my wifes
:flipoff:

 

she got my mound last night

 

makes sense. mounds don't have nuts
YouTube - Sometimes you feel like a nut

 

Dan FTW!


Basically a D70F is a D60 with 35sp outers...basically.

 

well just for gits and shiggles i found out by accident that chevy kodiak trucks from like 2006 on are offered with a high pinion d70 front axle. i bet it has 10 lug outers though. i don't really care to look though.

 

lugs dont matter because obviously i have a succesful rim business.
But seriously rims get made all the time for 2.5 ton axles so it wouldn't be hard to make them.

But if d70 is only stronger then d60 in the small ways yall say, then it wouldnt be worth it to try and find a 70.

so 60 it is, and if they brake then to 2.5 tons
