Is it safe to weld on an axle when it is fully assembled? I figure if you put the ground as close to what you are welding you would be ok. i just don't want to damage the new bearings or seals or anything.

I finally got my axles picked up last thursday. I got my tax retyurn back also.:thumbsup: that means progress. My front axle is out of a wagoneer. I am unsure of the year. the guy told me 87 first then said early 80's. so i am kinda screwed till i get the year. I already bought the new brakes...

I was looking at 5.5 inch coils for a B2 from broncogravyard.com. They are only $130. I was wondering if they would be too soft for the ex. Does anyone know the stock spring rates for the ex compared to the B2?

A friend of mine works in a junkyard and was telling me he has a rear axle out of a 97ish isuzu rodeo. He said it is a dana 44 with disc brakes and the factory locker.:eek: He also has the wagoneer axle im interested in and he said the isuzu axle is the same width and has the same 6-lug...

I am looking for the cheapest way to SAS my ex. I am sure this is what i want to do for obvious reasons. I am in the off road club at school and need a way to do it so that it can be finished mid to late summer. My question is what way would be cheapest yet allow for improvement over time...

I saw some pictures of an Ex with a D44 front axle that was 4-linked and was curious what would go into designing a setup like that. What angle do I have to have? where do links have to be mounted? I am in a high performanc eclass but it will be awhile before I get into my high performance...

I know that they offered the manual transfer case with my Ex but unfortunately, I have the electronic one. I was curious if the manual one would bolt right up to the A4LD as long as i cut the hole in the floor. Is there a better swap I could do maybe. I was thinking about swapping in a 302 later...

I just bought a '91 explorer and I have plans to do a full width axle swap on it. Being on a college budget which barely allows me to pay attention, I was wondering what kind of options are out there. I want to put a d44 up front and a f9" in the rear. I have access to all the tools I would...
