hey, billy, is the sonoma crew going to make it to the round up this year?

[rockwalker]

yep, need two to get the santa rosa guys going

[kiyul4130]

so why did you decide to go with the diamond housing?

strength and width

why not

also to be able to fit coils around those shocks right? are you going to run a new coilover up front? what size were those in there? i really want to link my truck this winter....

[rockwalker]

i'm going to to run coils on the shocks that i have now (16")  but i might get 14" down the road. 

[pumkin toy]

i guess money would be the why not for me!  i can see the obvious benefits like strength and width, i was just curious what plans you had i mind that required a diamond housing.

[rockwalker]

i drive this truck pretty hard the front gets the worst of it at the hammers this year i got it up to 70 mph.  I had 2" spacers on the front and i don't see it lasting that much longer, so i'm puttting the old axle in my tintop sammy.   i will be having so 30 spline bobby long inner's  up for sale.

[kiyul4130]

let me know about those 16s if you want to sell them. i want to link my front with 16s.

yeah it should be alot stronger without the wheel spacers!  how much do you want for the inner axles?

[rockwalker]

a buddy of mine wants them but if he doesn't get them i will let you know.  I'm just waiting for some lower link bracket's and heim joints.
