I am not saying you cant achieve the ride you want with better leafs, but another option is to use an 05* axle and convert it to coils. Not exactly cheap, but it was one of the best things I did to my 04 f350. Much better turning radius (the main reason I did the swap) but also bigger breaks and...

My wife used to love mountain biking. She developed heart failure after a long battle with covid and has not had the endurance to ride much anymore. I have been thinking of getting her an E bike so she can ride again. If the type of trails she used to love to ride will become open to E bikes, it...

Perfect. Thank you gentlemen.

And what were you paying? Need a couple of small windows and a door for a small camp trailer.

FireMedic, was that product something you were able to purchase locally or did you have to order it and have it shipped?

It is a ball joint dana 60. I know the rear end (sterling 10.25) is a little narrower, but that really doesn't matter. As far as the trailer goes I should have plenty of room width wise to work with. Neither Lowes nor Home Depot have any MDO plywood available anywhere near me. Not a lot of...

Great information. Thank you to all who have replied. The bronco has axles out of a mid 90's f350. I am going on memory when I say they are 65" wide. I can get measurements before I order trailer parts. I ordered some fiberglass mat. I will try to pick up a few different materials, add a...

Thank you for the feedback guys. Main reason I was thinking 1/2 ply was because its cheap and easy to get and work with. I would go 1/4 or 3/8 but they always seem warped. Not worried about rot. I was planning on coating all edges, corners and cut areas with resin. Was only planning on one...

More good points SoDakSooner. A standard axle is much cheaper too. I would consider a torsion axle as well as it should put the axle beam up a little higher than a leaf spring axle. I shouldn'd need anything heavier than a 3500 pound axle. I do want it to run 8x6.5 rims though so the bolt...

Thanks for the heads up Flipmachine. I forgot about them, actually had that website saved under favorites. Tatanka, good point on parts availability. My primary offroad rig is a full size bronco. Body has a width of 79" and a WMS of 65" so the trailer should have no problem being narrower and...

After a few years of kicking around the idea, I have decided to finally build a trailer. I am thinking of an enclosed 5x8 or 5x10. I have a couple questions. What are you guys setting the trailers track width at? Keep the wheels of the trailer following in the tracks on the tow vehicle or...

Great tip. I just ordered two of these the first day HP was blowing them out.

With factory springs and shackle, the flip will probably only give you 4" at most. Kinda dependent on the bracket used too. I used a longer shackle and added leafs and I think it only gave be about 6" over stock. Its hard to say exactly how much lift the flip and those 6" spring will give...

Measure from eye to eye then call around. I got mine from these guys: http://www.eshocks.com/

Just keep them rotated and you should be happy.

The truck has a 4" lift. 99% of the mileage on those tire were on pavement. They did fine at the beach, and the few times it went off road which was mainly sand, and a little mud.

I had a set on my superduty. Mine were 315-75-16. Best tire I had on the truck yet. I got almost 40k outta them if I remember right. Very good road manners. Not loud at all. Decent off road.

Very glad to hear you guys were able to make this a success.

My favorite tire to date. The only reason I don't have them now, is that they were unavailable when those in the picture wore out. I had a set of radial 36" iroks on another truck I never drive, so I swapped them over to the f350. I messed up by not rotating them often enough. That killed the...

Old picture. Has different wheels and tires now. Its been in the woods a few times. Wouldn't mind using it more, as long as it doesn't get tore up.
