certain models did have a limited slip diff, what would you want the front axle to do? do you want it to be a full time, limited, locked, lockable at hubs ect..... then with that knowledge it would eliminate alot of front axles from the mix and make it alot easier finding the one you want.

Does it make a difference which one is mounted where? as far as flex goes, you could put a few coils in the line ( if your using st...

Would be bad @#% to extend your crew cab. A little extension behind the rear doors :Thumbsup

Just send me your truck with the glove box full of cash and I'll build you a road worthy truck.

Re: new box power steering

BTW - Do you think the angled arm will be enough to do the trick? I suppose my concern is with different tire sizes and such. :Thumbsup[/quote]

thats what im wondering, im running 30x10x15's on my truck. fingers crossed that the angled arm will work to eliminate the rubbing issue.
