With all the talk about how small a tire you can run with a dana 60 so it's not a anchor for non comp rig got me thinking about other axles clearances to. How much ground clearance do you have? measure from gound to lowest piont and from ground to center of axle or hub. I'm not trying to be a dick and start a fight just curious about some tech. My rubicon 44 is 10.75 to lowest piont and 16.25 to center line of axle tube with 36 irok radials @ 30psi.
I have never measured from the ground up, as my tires are normally at about 4psi. However, I do know, measuring from the axle center line to the lowest point on the diff (its been shaved flat), I have more ground clearance with the Ford 9in then it did with a D35!
Toyota axles on 38 TSL/SX's at 8 psi.
11.5 inches to the bottom (Not shaved) and 16.25 inches at the centerline of the axle.

14" to the bottom of a 14b with 33"
Is that even possible? Maybe i'm confused and not thinking clearly.
33" tires /2 = 16.5" to axle centerline...in a perfect world. More likely less.
Are you saying that the bottow of the pumpkin is only 2.5in lower than that?

Whats it measure to the center line of the axle? I want to know how small them boggers really are.

11" to bottom of diff 15" to bottom of axle tube dana 44. 36" iroks @22 psi and a good bit of wear
this is a great thread idea, gives hard evidence to the boat anchor theory. looks like there really may not be as much difference as once thought

Best way to compare is take the difference between the bottom of the diff and axle centerline. That will eliminate the uncertainty of tires.
While this number may only be around an inch, that inch you will probably notice.
So lets see some other axle measurement no matter what it is.
I actually measured mine this weekend, running 40" with 8psi
D60 13" to bottom of diff, 18" to the center of the tube
14B 12" to bottom of diff, 18" to the center of the tube
both of the axles are shaved also
what do you have to the center of the axle tube? that way it will tell you what the actual tire height is.
17.5" to front axle centerline: D44 - 11.5"
17.5" to rear axle centerline: D60 - 11.25"
Front toyota axle on 36 inch Iroks at 15-20 psi
16 to tube
12.5 to lowest point
25.5 to frame
is that 16" to the center of the tube? and are your Iroks radials or bias?
what type and size of tire are you running?
Who the hell knows right now. I still have a ways to go.....
D'oh! That is to the bottom of the front tube. They are bias.
Toyota 8" rear diff with 32's @ 32psi
10.0" lowest point
15.25" axle centerline
2000 4Runner. Lifted and armored.
2008 4Runner. To be lifted and armored.
BEEN THERE BEFORE... I still have alot to do, but at least I can take it out if I want toWho the hell knows right now. I still have a ways to go.....
