    ARP Hub Stud Kit

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has used this kit? My question is about the cone washers. They protrude a lot. In this pic they are not torqued but I know they will still protrude quite a bit. I'm used to them being closer to flush with the hub. Also the studs are quite long, why so long?

    Diamond axle knuckle centering?

    I've discovered that the regular SST doesn't work with a Diamond housing due to the extra thickness of the housing and how it's machined inside at the seal area where part of the SST installs. Does anyone have experience with how they center the knuckle on a Diamond housing? I do have an...

    Frame Twist

    1) How much is your frame twisted? I’m curious what seems to be normal in these old rigs? I guess some standard of measurement would be needed for consistent usable info. My 1973 isn’t complete, so my measurements were with rig weight on and my rear leafs tacked, shackle angle set. I leveled...

    Shackle angle settling

    Yes I know, many threads exist but most all I find are in regard to inches of spring settle, and not how that relates to the shackle angle. A loaded question I realize but just wondering if anyone had kept track of this during and after their build. Obviously it would vary with different...

    Alcan Springs ⅝" bolt?

    Not sure if this is really hardcore or not but here it is. I'm SOA with Alcan FJ60 length springs, flipped for WB, which have the free arch relaxed, in the rear of my 40. I was told the Alcans would use ⅝" bolts. They just seem to fit fairly loose, I expected a much tighter fit. I used...

    Axles, thrust angle and rear axle

    I'm wondering if anyone has info/opinions regarding rear axles being narrower than front? As I'm putting Diamond axles under my rig, I can choose what to do on this, choosing WMS to WMS. From what I can find, FJ40 difference is only about .1" difference, while FJ60's are .5" difference, with...

    Shocks FJ40 Outside Frame, rear shocks

    I've seen a lot on here but not on this particular question. First off, I'm a newbie, first build. I've read a bit about designing for shock mounting, locations etc. This basic article was helpful: Everything you wanted to know about Shock Absorbers - 4x4Review Off Road Magazine I realize it...

    Diamond Axle 60 width on 40 No outboard

    I haven't seen this topic anywhere, opinions please. I'm considering a Diamond up front on my 40, but at a 60 width. The question is: would it be alright to leave spring perches original instead of outboarding? It doesn't seem to me to be that big of a factor when we are only talking about 1 ½"...

    Trunnion bearing eliminator kits

    Didn't see anything on FAQ's about this. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these? A good idea or really just gimmicky? I'm what I'd call a moderate crawler, more precise and picking my lines rather than a brute force power approach...

    Orbit Eyes from Alcan Springs- Reviews?

    Searched around and did not find anything on these. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this product. The idea sounds reasonable, and I'm wondering if they'd function well enough to be worth the edition to an SOA? http://www.alcanspring.com/orbit-eye.htm
