Re: Dana 44 Ring Gear Swap Question
Well, I have decided to just go with the 14 bolt for the rear. I am doing a complete frame off restoration on the truck, so I can get to everything now very easy and quick. Also, since I already have the axles and they match with 4.10 gears, I think I will be happier in the end.
Welding on new spring perches and shock tabs will be no problem. My question now regards the pinion angle. As this is a stock truck, with no lift, when I move the spring perches on the 14 bolt, I plan to locate them (clock them) the same way that they are now. Will that work? Does anyone know if the pinion angle on the HO52 is the same as on the 14 bolt? I didn't think to check the angle of the HO52 pinion before I removed it from the truck frame.
Thanks, Clay
