Hi,
So I have been looking for a high pinion dana 44 from an F 100/F150 to swap into my Bronco. So far I haven't found one locally. I am curious, for those of you that have cut and rotted your knuckles on low pinion dana 44's to get the correct pinion angle and caster setting, did it work? Did it allow you to get full suspension flex and still not bind the axle shaft at tranfercase? Or do you have to have a high pinion axle to get full flex with no bind?
My vehicle details are; 76 dana 44, 5 inch lift, 35 inch tires, still on stock radius arms (gonna go long arms soon), stock gearing (4.10 limited slip), when I go long arms I will install a locker and lower gears as well.
I'm trying to only build my axle once and I'm wondering if I should give up on the high pinion and move forward or continue to hold out for one. Thank you for your thoughts.
