[blkout]

Had the spring meeting today and had some interesting rule changes occured
1)Hood stacks allowed :rockwoot:
2)Fuel cells allowed must be secured in bed
3)Open rearends now allowed, must use factory spring setup for mounting.
4)Any single charger is allowed bushed to 2.8 bushing must be 3/4" long and
.050 distance off of compressor wheel. Max map groove is 1/4" :charger:

The rear end rule change will be a blessing for many of the 2.8 dodge guys.

If it requires 4 wheel hydraulic brakes, and the lack of no drop boxes, seems like it might be tough to actually implemented.

ISP just made the same rule change. It's very tough to get a 106 to work with 1 ton trans. Leaf springs and rockwell is very "unique"

Aren't they 19.5 inch wheels? Will 17" wheels clear the brakes?

I would be surprised if they will clear the brakes. Could be wrong though.

OK, what size are the ring and pinion and what size are the axles?

11.8" ring gear, and 1.57" axles
12.2" ring gear and 1.61" axles.

Doesn't look like much of an upgrade, it appear to have the 3rd member bearing though, and a wide variety of gear ratios.

i think being a 3rd member will make it much stronger in my opnion and the housing is beffey

It is the axles that are the problem, your still looking at $1000+ for a good set of axles.

 

[house]
