Shave the rear

It is rumored that a shaved 9 and 38’s is equivalent to 40’s so we will see.

i gained about 1.5" of clearance on my 9" but i only used 1/4" plate,in hindsite i should have used 3/8 or 1/2", some of the gouges are so deep i will soon have to add another 1/4 plate on top the existing one. but i still gained a 1" of clearance & a much stronger skid than the thin housing material.

WOW, nice work on this. I did get a little scared when I saw all the wires in the pics of the new springs......God I hate wiring.

 

[earlybronco]

Finished the shave on the 9

Well after 4 grinding wheels and 3 flap disks I finished smoothing out the rear axle.

Cutting has begun

Did come minor cutting today just to stop the rubbing on flat ground.

Waiting on the war flares from wild horses to arrive before making final cutting.

Nice pinion guard, I think you may need some more trimming but I'm sure you'll get to that soon enough. That rear axle is total beef. I need to get mine built like that! Congrats on the great job. Shawn

 

[earlybronco]

Nice pinion guard, Shawn

You are the guy that makes them right?

If so a plug for a super BEEF product and great vendor.

 

[BRUISER]

Nice pinion guard,. Shawn

[Scibetta]

Yea it is. I did wheel it a good bit stock (ride height) but to hang with the big boys (Ken, Jon) I had to go big and BEEF. So more parts arrived today and will be doing more cutting this weekend.

[Black Bear]
