Spent way too much time digging this out of one of the rear hangers.

Little trimming and good to go.

Looking good. That shackle angle is going to need some work though. I doubt the weight of the vehicle will push them back, and even if it did, they would probably wanna invert while braking. I would just weight till you get more weight on there and then maybe move the shackle hanger forward.

Here's a delima....

I had a similar situation with the 70 series axel I put under my 45. But that was fixable. If that is 60 series axel you will need to outboard the front springs or get a different series front axel.

Nice work!

No outboarding. Definitely not changing axles. I'll figure out something.

Any reason why this won't fly?

Cardboard is double wall. Should be plenty strong.

 

[Michael B]

You need something to stop the cardboard from sliding down the slope of the housing. What does it look like on the other side? Isn't it going to interfere with the differential bolts? You also need to consider the bump stop. It looks like the inverted bolts could be pointed at the bump stop position.

The later axles had a square end:

Weld the cardboard to the housing. Trim the bolts as needed i think I can maneuver away from the third bolts.

I will check the square ended u bolt. That Just might work.

Jake,
Have you seen this from Dan? I used this on my 40. I realize this is for spring over but maybe you can utilize it for your situation.
