Finally getting to this axle swap:


Word to the wise: those damn speed sensors are VERY fragile!!!:grayno: I knew to be careful with them, but wtf...I still managed to brake the passenger side.:doh: Got lucky and found one in stock at a dealer in California. Hopefully it will be here on Monday.

 

[BrandonDetrick]

Is that a 44 or 60

Very nice man! I bet that pr44 is heavy as hell. My wife would love to see that outsude our door... she had trouble getting my ps brawler lite inside.

Looks good FoxC!!!

You doing it alone?

Question will the EVO trackbar bracket fit without modification? What about the draglink flip kit install?

 

[SoCalDozer]

Looks great man!
How was the ride difference of the King 2.0s vs the AEV 5100's im assumung?

And you already have your old D44 spoken for?

Yep..doing it alone. Ok a little help from my son, but with 2 floor jacks it hasnt been too difficult.

You need a new raised tracbar bracket for the pr44. I had them weld it on when they built it so the draglink flip and everything just swaps over.

That's bad ass man.

It is heavy. Thats been the most difficult part to the swap. It feels like it's twice has heavy as the d30.:crazyeyes:

There really is no comparison between the kings and the bilsteins. waaaaaay better. very happy with that purchase. The pr44 is replacing a d30.

Congrats on New PR44 axle! Thats Awesome :rock:

 

[FoxC]

Time for an update: got the pr44 finished up. Went ahead and added front upper adjustable CA's to dial everything in a bit more. After adjusting the caster with just LCA's I felt the axle was sitting back in the wheel well a little too much. Finished up the compressor and started the plumbing to the lockers this morning:

Changed rear gear oil and added a dynatrac rear diff cover.
All clean and ready for fresh fluids:

a little bling for the rear end!

Wow Craig! It's looking really good. :thumb:
