    Pretty sweet axle my friend. Our KK build came off jack stands last night.

      How much did it cost you if I can ask?

    • @millwright15
      @millwright15  8 месяцев назад +2

      @@jeremywahl8544 $1500 for the axle, $1500 for the RCV axle shafts, $500 for the 5.13 gears, bearings and seals, probably another $500 or so in the unit bearings, ball joints, calipers, breaks, rotors and axle tube seals. And $300 in the truss and gusset kit. That’s $4,300 and doesn’t count for shop and welding supplies, paint, grease and oil. So, just a little bit of money in this axle 🤣🤣🤣

    Professional explanation on the gear set-up. 42 thou (stock) pinion shim is usually on the money 90% of the time. Rarely do we have to adjust. Being how the pinion was marked, I would’ve bet 42 thou was on the money. Glad you took the time and got it dialed in. 5.13’s will test everything. With that being said, it was wise to put this one together on the “tight” end of the specs. Great job 🤙🤙🤙

    Dude, if you tear that axle up with an underpowered Liberty I’ll be very impressed. That axle is built for whatever you throw at it!

    I believe its overkill for the liberty. But better to build it right the first time than break it every time. 👍👍👍

    For all of that work, why not just use a super duty Dana 60? Still, awesome work. Doubt you will tear up that axle on 37’s anyway.

    • @millwright15
      @millwright15  9 месяцев назад +3

      You know, I’ve been asked this several times as I already have a d60 and 10.5 sterling out of an ‘11 F250. My answer is the same every time. If I wanted to use full width axles, I’d build a full width rig. Which may happen. Who knows.

      @@millwright15 thanks for the reply. You could always narrow the d60. But I could see at that being as expensive as the axle you built.
