No no no.
I'll be altering JUST the pinion.
Not just rotating the perches about the axle tube.
The outer C's will be at their factory position, center diff will be kicked up x amount of degrees while I'm retubing

I figured that was what you were gonna do. Lol, I was just telling you what my non fabricating butt was considering.

You have more confidence than I have. I just wouldn't be confident enough to do it.

I am far too impatient for all the measuring, and not meticulous enough.

Bleh, if I screw up the axles, I haven't lost much

Well I think you are now judging from that pic. ;)
Going to need some serious offset to tuck them.

I'm OK with it sticking out a little, just not the whole tire... For now. If it looks cool with the directional tires...... I might keep it....


It might be the Shiney rims that makes it look fuckboy-ish

Even if you rattle canned them flat black it would still look like you put a hamster body on a German shepherd frame. Weird

Some offset is my thing....
A tall truck straight up and down is a little sketchy, but I'm not too big into the all tire out the fender look

Sure I get it, and there's nothing wrong with that. However you need to know when to say when. For instance someone fell asleep while manning the when button here and it has gone into wtf territory.

Rest assured, it won't be to that extreme of gayness

A 4.3 that sounds throaty , with a "little" more than stock hp/tq, 36x14's on 1/2 tons.
4.56 gears should do her well.
Maybe I can spin all 4 offroad like I do now on 3.42's and 31x10.5x15

This thread kinda got abandoned.
I'll admit I haven't done a thing besides started pulling the rear axle out.
Front axle is out already.

But I'm in a planning stage.

First up is the front spring hanger I'll make

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't standard centerpin distance 31.5 or 32 on 1/2 and 3/4 ton?
I need to measure the s10 frame and compare to the axle, worst comes to worst, I'll make my own new pads for it and just weld those on.

Had some guy tripping out over my s10 yesterday at the parts store, I made sure and do a burnout on the way out the parking lot for Him.

Unfortunately whatever I've done here recently to the axle, it only spins 1 tire now....
G80 is on its way out AGAIN .....


Hoping between a bent control arm and a rear end that's threatening to explode, I can make it last until I swap the 1/2 tons in.

Pretty happy with what I have now. You gotta have some offset to keep it stable, but too much and you are eating bearings, and stuff.
