How much clearance do you have?

[CESCO]

D'oh! That is to the bottom of the front tube. They are bias.

need to know the measurement to the center of the axle tube. that way it is easy to look on this thread to know how to calculate what clearance you have using that axle.

I've got to get my measurements since its just sitting dead in my driveway for the last week or so...

Who cares about ground clearance, if my D60s scrape I'll just put the skinny pedal down. Isn't that why we build 60s? That 1 inch I lose I'll make up with brute strength and driver ability.

I agree Joe. This is more for fun than anything to make decisions over. To me anyway. I was looking for this to compare my old setup to the new setup and I remembered I posted here.

It would be cool to keep this going.

Can I run a 14 bolt on 33's?

That's what I'm saying. If you guys would quit your whining people might actually post specs!

I've seen it, and dude did great...


Personally I'd rather scrape than have weaker axles

I agree lol.

I'm just bored and wanted numbers to look at! haha

I already got what I needed from the thread but I figured it would still be a cool resource. I don't plan on running a 14bolt on 33's though.

My 8.8 limited me on a couple of really rutted up muddy hill climbs when I was on 33's locked F n R. I can't imagine a 14bolt

[Deadman 94 xj]

Mine did the same on 35's but I think a lot of that had to do with driver error.

[funnyguy595]

I have 9" front and rear with 35s and I am at 11.25". I can't check what the tube measurment is because my brother has my jeep as a loaner.

The actual measurement is not the whole story - the shape of the contour, weight of the assembly, and and over all foot print of the center section is a huge part of it.

I spent good money to make a smaller diff as strong as a 60 to avoid running a heavy anchor of a stock 1 ton axle - but I'd run Pro-rock CRD 60's without hesitation given the financial ability.
