BeccaLoo24 – i can toss grown men.... so dont doubt me
I have full float on mine and ditched the hubs for flanges. Has problems with them unlocking while driving, makes one hell of a noise and then you stop.
I would like to hear from someone with actual experience how a truck with a welded/spooled full-floater rear axle with manual locking hubs handles onroad with one rear locking hub locked and one rear locking hub unlocked. No doubt it will be different, and possibly feel as though the driven/powered wheel when on the the inside position of a sharp turning radius or path will want to push the inside rear corner of the vehicle up and drive through the turn, maybe--I don't know. When driving on the street in 2WD with one rear wheel hub locked and with a spooled/welded rear diff, I see possible advantages as follows:It causes less tire wear than running full time spooled rear end with both hubs locked or flanged.In the event of a single high speed rear tire blow out, this set up may minimize the effects of involuntary turning to the blown out tire side due to the instantly decreased tire radius of the blown side which would be locked to wheel with the intact tire.Aside from converting to a full floater rear end, this set up is way cheaper than buying an ARB, but to a certain extent mimmicks how an ARB performs on and off road with a flip of a hub dial rather than an air actuated switch.Experiences?Thoughts?Stupid?
That would be good info also. Okay lets see if got it right, if I unlock the rear hub.. Can I still drive forward or backward? Or not all . with hubs also unlocked in the front.So you could do front digs? that would be kinda cool hehe. I see the flat towing advantage. So to do front wheel drive I unlock the rear hubs and lock the front, do front digs maybe, etc? Am one the right path for the advantages, and stronger too.Now with all 4 hubs locked in , it would be the same as being 4wd. Yes that would be kool arb functions but no airline. Umm now my question is on any locker, aussie, grizzly, etc, on the rear with the hubs. Can I unlock the rear locker for the street? then be open? i guess till confused ahaha
