That 10 bolt should do well with 44" tires.

everything im running came off my roommates 83 burbon he upgreaded cuz he found a set of matching 513 gears in a ff and a 44 so i got the 410s in the ff and the 10 bolt i mean if he had a 83 burbon 13 inch lift 44s 350/350/208 combo i think my s10 will do fine in my 87

bubbagt57 · 08-06-2009, 06:09 PM

once again that 10bolt will do wonders

96superflow · 08-06-2009, 07:33 PM

i think they are the merical axles! im going to get some for mine, and put some 54" boggers on um. Guys they are the toughest axles out there. No Joke!!!! lol

gitsumdime · 08-07-2009, 06:27 PM

i got 410s in both axels should i go to like a 456s or will the 410s do well im in south florida so all the mud is like swampy sandy mud not like the mud up north

96superflow · 08-08-2009, 12:17 AM

Stop posting this dumb shit. Do the research on the 10 bolt axles and you will find out about them.

... this coming from someone running a dana 30

96superflow · 08-11-2009, 09:12 AM

im not running 44s. If i were, i would have planned on having something tough enough to handle it. I know how much the axle i have can handle. If i out grow them, which i dont think i will, i will put in something tough enough to handle it.

MTchevyS10 · 08-11-2009, 12:12 PM

Good point. You'll be just fine.

gitsumdime · 11-01-2009, 02:18 PM

gitsumdime · 11-01-2009, 02:31 PM

heres a pic not good but a pic ill post more as soon as i git the camera back

BillaksBlazer · 11-01-2009, 07:17 PM

seriously blocks up front. i think you need to research before your build anything.

chattinfarms · 11-02-2009, 02:08 AM

blocks arent bad on the front if done right i had a 72 chevy with 4 inch blocks and the guy is still driving it like that today im just saying though

gitsumdime · 11-02-2009, 03:24 AM

theres not a thing wrong with blocks we have a buggy at the house that has 5 inches of blocks all the way around and that thing jumps mounds lounches out of ditches running a bb with nos and a blower smokes all four tires been built for years my dad built it like 30 years ago and its still runnigON BLOCKS

DieselS10 · 11-02-2009, 09:16 AM

There's nothing wrong with blocks on the front of something that does not ever get driven on the road. Other than that it is a very bad idea.

BillaksBlazer · 11-02-2009, 10:54 AM

yea try replacing a block that was spit on the trail with rusty u bolts. Not my idea of a fun to say the least.

I was speaking from a safety stand point only, I wouldn't put them on the front of anything at all. They aren't designed to handle the side load that it put on them in turns IMO.

BillaksBlazer · 11-03-2009, 10:45 AM

diesel i know your smarter then that. lol I just hate blocks in general. last weekend we hard to try and fix a fullsize that spit a block in the mud. About 6 hours and climbing a tree to set up a clevis to lift the guys truck with my winch and sitting in waist deep mud. I was not a happy camper. Just do it right the first time. esp if it sees the road at all

96superflow · 11-03-2009, 07:33 PM

^^ agreed.
