The last CV you'll ever need....maybe

[BigMeatVX]

Ascinder,

I've got the dana 44 center section, the Toyota hubs and brakes...The CV shafts are next on my list...this has been on hold for the last month though...

Is it too late to talk you out of SAS?

[Ascinder]

Waaayyyy too late, lol. I've already removed almost everything from the VX and I've hacked most of the way through those A-arms brackets. Also, there is no way in hell CVs are going to hold up against 500hp and 37" tires. I'd say I'm fairly well committed at this point to the SAS.

While the stockers, or even my toyota ones wouldn't hold up to 500HP,

934.5 CVs CAN and DO take that HP and tire size!!!! the axle bars are 1.5" 35 slpine just like a dana 60!!! And they even have larger ones...series 50??? avail..... PRO 4 trucks use these....

Yep, just take a look at Shannon Campbells IFS King of the Hammers rig.

Yeah, but try finding a replacement set of those at the junkyard. For the $250 I spent for the whole D60, I'm pretty sure for as rarely as I'll break shafts that it'll be more cost effective long run. Plus I can regear it to just about anything and there's a wide variety of lockers available. I have just never heard of that kind of stuff with any of the IFS out there that isn't totally high dollar custom made. Add to that the fact that my solid axle route is way more hydraulic steering friendly, and probably articulates waaayy more, plus more weight down low vs. IFS and I'm sold on it.

[Triathlete]

I was just throwing that out there...believe me, if I had the $$$ there would already be a solid axle under mine!

[Ascinder]

Updates? With Bigmeat's new super flexy IFS, I'd think people would really start wanting these stronger CV's. I don't how many people watched the videos in his thread, but those A-arm angles are going to eat stock CV's for breakfast. I love that I'm finally seeing some decent hardcore parts becoming available for the VX. Even if it's a little too late for me
