I’m often working my 1500 very hard. Loaded very close to max payload, towing a trailer, driving on washboard roads. With all this punishment, I would like to extend my safety net, by building up my truck. What I don’t want to do is detract from what I love about my truck, the great ride.
I’m looking into having Full Float axles built for my truck. I know that in the U.S., you can’t have a vehicle engineered, to increase payload. I'm always at the limits of my trucks capacity, I want to increase the practical limit. I still won’t exceed published limits, but the axle will not be working so hard at the limit.
I wanted to float this out to the group. I’m looking at a couple options to get a bolt in full float axle
Option 1
Custom Ford 9” with or without ARB locker. Appropriate gears to match your front end.
Option 2
Custom Dana 60. Basically narrow TRX full float D60 with appropriate gearing and locker of your choice.
Both options retain breaks, wheels, electric parking break (if equipped), etc…
If there is interest, we might be able to pull together a group purchase. We would all need to choose the same option.
Any interest, or am I the only one???
