I’m gathering parts to SAS my 100 series. Got a set of 80 series axles (unlocked) with a steering box for $200 (the price was right).
I saw front range sells a 79 series front hub to swap onto the 80 series front to retain the 5 lug pattern so I’m leaning this way to keep my stock rear semi-float axle with a factory e-locker/ wheels/ tires. I was debating between switching to the 6 lug 80 series axle and swapping both axles but keeping the factory 100 rear makes more sense at this time.
My question is as follows: is there a way to convert the 100 series semi- float rear to a full float design? Front range also sells a 79 series full float rear hub. Does anyone know if an 80 series spindle would bolt into the 100 series rear? Or would I need some custom machined parts to run a full float rear? I’ve called front range and emailed them but no replies yet.
I’d prefer a full float rear but I’d make do with the semi float just to keep the stock 100 series axle for now.
