who did you get your pinion breaks from?

who did you get your pinion breaks from?

I got my brake from DIY4X. Came w/ brackets, rotor and bolts. You buy your own reg Chevy truck caliper and pads.  I did have to shim my bracket out 1/8" so the caliper would fit right om the rotor, Other than that it works good.

Very nice.

Looks like room for bigger tires too.  :-)

I see ya made another heavy duty driveshaft loop, haha

Oh yea. This ones quite a bit thicker than the last one. Hopefully I never need it. Lol

Very nice.

I wouldn't mind picking up a set of tractors to use once in a while.  I won't sell my 44's though, I'll run those most of the time.

lets go find some mud

A few more pics

that for axle wrap?

I keep reading about this "axle wrap" but I'm confused as to what that means?  I'm looking to go 2.5s in the near future and all the pointers that I can get will help.

i kinda know what it means but when you have somewhat of a high horse motor and ur sitting there and you lay into the throttle youll get axle wrap which means the axle housing itselfs is twisting before the tires actually turn and if u have big blocks etc the amount of axle wrap is multiplied

[FilthyMoney]

Can you avoid this by strengthing the housing or adding some sort of link bars? Or is this just a fact of rocks in general? Are there any fixes?

[BAD APPLE]

Axle wrap primarily happenes with leif spring applications when under load the axle twists breaking ubolts driveshafts and in most cases cracking of the t case, ways to eliminate axle wrap are ladder bars or a simple link likw what you see with this build, 4 link is by far the best way to eliminate axle wrap, its also the best way to maintain your pinion angle through out your suspensions full movement
