Looking good. I guess you're glad to be back on track after the yearlong hiatus.

Thanks, I am glad to be back on track. The year did give me time to think about all the things that need to be done vs what I want done. Got to machine a bunch of little parts and fittings that probably saved me $150 or so.Originally Posted by Mickeymotormount

Very industrious build, especially the fuel line part
Thanks, I am starting this comparison between my old factory axle (the 10 bolt) and this full float 14 I had laying around my garage. The 14FF has 4.56's as where the 10 has 3.42's. I has wrote a program for my water jet to make all the parts for the disk brake conversion, but I am trying to decided whether to use this big axle or just beef up my 10.
Using this, I would have to convert the front to 8 lug, or convert this to 5 lug. I found this, which converts the hubs for $400!

I tried googling 5 to 8 lug conversion for the front IFS and seen the question has been asked a lot which no one getting an answer of finished product. I have some time to think about it and do cost comparison, but the 14 would be cool.

Nice build. Im looking at options for my 10 bolt as well. I think I will just put a limited slip in it and roll. My build is just a stock setup so I dont need too big of a rearend.
Been lurking since 09 and I finally have my kickass 6.0 LQ4LQ4 LQ9 6.0L Engine Service Manual Save to your computer in case it disappears
Thanks, I just finished getting it back together, and there is a limited slip in it, so I think I am going to keep it and look into the lug conversions. Put new seals and bearings in it. Got the old massive cover de-rusted, primed, and plasti-dipped. I have a ton of parts for this laying around from the original project of a solid axle conversion, this was one of the axles I acquired for it.
Has anyone ever heard of converting the front IFS to 8 lug from 5?

You could swap the axles in the 14b to some 6 lugs and get 98 2500 6 lug rotors.
