The new rear axle:
Diamond Axle
64" wide
True Hi9 center
35 Spline FF
ARB
SSBC discs/rotors
SSBC mechanical brake calipers for E-brake (pls excuse the chrome bling... it was the only finish it came in...
)
Changes to the rear axle setup will include:
A new drive shaft - Tom Woods or High Angle... ?
New shocks - King - would like to investigate valving options to slow down the airbag unload when emergency stopping or hard braking
Lose the wheel spacers...
Less trussing of the axle and a cleaner/less busy rear fabrication due to increased housing strength over the stock housing
Possible air actuated E-Brake
All that I can think of right now...
Cheers!
Rob

Hi JasonMT,
Dana 60 style outers on the FF.
I had Brian ship the axle to Sumas WA, Sumas Mini Storage. I drove across the border, picked it up and paid the taxes, saved the brokerage fees. If I recall correctly, it was about $400 to ship.
Cheers!
