my 5 lug swap thread...*pics*

and the tail pipes on most fox's

 

 

I couldn't get wider than a 255 on the back of mine and keep the tailpipes

 

I'd run the 245's all around

 

what rotors did you use? did they just fit on your stock spindles and use the same wheel bearings?

 

 

good idea.

 

from a Mark VII. i want cobra brakes. but the cheapest i could find was 600 bucks for the front and i think thats a little much imo. so this will do for now.

[Ryan218]

its a whole new rear end with ford racing 3.73's that. put the 5 lug axles in. very simple to do. pulled the brake lines off new rear end becasue they were pinched. swaping everything over.

paid 100 bucks for ranger axles. perfect shape. brand new drums. and 2 brand new 235/50/17 tires.

235/50/17 wow tall skinny tires

[Ryan218]

235/50/17 wow tall skinny tires

 

 

i made a mistake...there 235/45/17 but yeah there for the front. 245/45/17 for the back.

 

245/45/17 fit perfect in the front. when i got to do tires in spring or something i wonder if 265/45/17 with fit in rear then 245/45/17 up front.

 

ok. i gave the bolt hell with the BFSH. and lower controlling arm came right out...i hate drums..and im not looking forward to putting them back together lol.

thatd be cool man. you can grab the axles too. 20 bucks both of em are yours.

 

i hate drum breaks lol. i dont even know where to start with them ha.

[Ryan218]

well i need to track down some new lower controlling arm bolts. went to napa..nothing..ford. guy didnt even know what i was talking about with "lower controlling arm hardware" dumb people..lol.

 

any idea where i can look? i was thinking hardware store. on the bolt it says 10.9..but these are metric? so as long as i get a 8 up grade bolt then i would be fine right?

 

so in mean time i cleaned it up some...

added the fulid/friction modifer and got the diff cover on. now if i could find my 11MM open end wrench i would put the brake lines on the new rear end but it missing in action at the moment.

i keep breaking shit so this is take 20 times longer then it should. :sad:

[92dropgt]

lookin good! and yes, all grade 8 hardware will be more than adaquate.

 

and add me to the list of people that think those wheels look amazing on fox's!

[Reed44]

lookin goood. Nice progress.

[Ryan218]

thanks. little by little. i really want to get to trails before they close to see how the 3.73's do. but im pretty sure there closed now? same with 42? unless there still open. hell idk.

 

tomm im going to finish the underside of car. get the rear in. go get what i need to do the breaks. bend to hard lines. then im sure the drum brakes will take be the better part of the day ( i hate drums)...well Wensenday i got to go meet with my lawyer. so not sure if ill get any work done that day or not. hopefully Saturday i will have it ALL done. the tires mounted on the wheels and such. can i get the speedo gear at the dealership? or are they going to rape me on price? LMR sells them for 1.99. dealership be around that?

[Stimmel1647545512]

I got mine and its the 21 or 23 tooth gear for 299 picked up at krieger ford.
