axle width

ECXACTLY !!!




uote=Mace;2552941]Take a FJ60 axle, do the cut N turn but actually remove the knuckle (don't cut it off, slide it out). then have a section of tube created that will slide into the old housing and the knuckle can slide into.

Bingo.. Slightly wider 60 housing and no need to widen your spring perches...[/quote]

no such thing..

Narrow trails and trees an issue?

You like sidehilling?

How tall are ya?

Cruiser axles are ~ 55" wide.

63 seems to be a common width.

I love my full widths tho..

Also, backspacing becomes important as well. a 7" BS rim makes a 63" wide axle almost the same width as a stock cruiser axle..

miny thread hijack :whoops:

on a custom bj45, is it ok to run full width d60"s...?

thanks

If you wanted more, you could always add IFS hubs and gain a few more inches.

Plus if you go this route your scrub radius will be nicer on your steering than the route I went.

Um, no

the ifs setup is still a spacer, just behind the mounting surface
