Default Axle measurement

Jay-

I haven't gotten the kit installed yet, I ordered it through Tobin, but I am sitting here looking at it and wondering the best way to get measurements for cutting my axle shafts?

I have new axles that have extended splines on one end which allow for cutting to size.

Should I just assemble the whole rear end and brakes and then use my full length axles and see how much is sticking out?

Are there known measuring points we can use to calculate the length once we know what brakes and rear end lengths we have?

I know you provide this: **Note: this applications will add 3/16″ per side to your existing wheel mount surface (based on an existing 2.50″ axle/brake offset)** on a lot of the write ups, but I don't know if that is with all brake units. I guess I am wondering if I need to put my brakes on to see if I have that 2.50 brake offset to begin with.

I will be using Z51 with the parking brake assembly.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

First off, thank you for your purchase.

The brake package will not affect axle length in any way.

As for the axles...

Best way to determine your axle length is to know your pinion center to outside of Big Ford End measurement for both passenger and driver side. Once that is known just let me know and I will confirm your particular applications axle lengths.

In addition to the above, I will need to know what differential you are running and if your Big Ford Ends are on a GM 12 bolt, Ford 9, or?

PM me your email address if you prefer and I will get you over an order form which then can be used to document the above requested info and sent over to me

Jay

Thanks for the quick reply Jay. I have sent over a PM to you with my contact details.

It is a Strange 9 inch Ford narrowed 2" a side for my 65 Chevelle. It has the pro-iron 3.90 center section in it with 35 spline setup. Big Ford bearings.

Default Customer Car

This customer participates in NASA "American Iron" class. Not only does he participate but he is the two time regional champion for this class. It is not "official" yet, but looks like he is set to make it 3 in a row

He runs a Strange 9" rear with Big Ford "Torino Ends". He was constantly battling piston knock-back and leaky axle seals.

Long story short, he now runs a "Bolt-On" Big Ford MillerBuilt Full Floater and voila,,,,,, problems solved!!!
