Pretty reasonable for a lifted 4\u00d74.\"\n\nOh, no argument there! \n\nBut it's not really the \"driveshaft angle\", though this is a concern for universal joint functional wear and excessive heat production with their associated concerns, and also particularly for maximum revolutions before inducing a vibration, which is a somewhat complicated calculation but this ones' probably down to something around perhaps 1000 r.p.m.; which probably isn't an issue when the transfer-case in 'Low-Range' and just poking along; but too fast and stuff can go bad pretty quickly. \n\nBut where we are really breaking all the rules, and yes, this is often practiced by the 4 X 4 crowd, is when the joint phasing and relationship angle is ignored, or even often (and probably here) we actually rotate the differential pinions up, aiming them at the opposite end u-joint, generally with the intention of alleviating some of the \"driveshaft angle\" but now causing a rotational binding force effect; which causes all kinds of related possible failure issues.\n\nBut as you said: not uncommonly encounter in the 4 X 4 crowd. \n\nYes, I saw the \"High-Steer\" conversion, just hope it's further away from the leaf springs then it seems in the pictures; as it doesn't look like you'd ever get close to the bump-stops before impacting the drag-link or tie-rod? But as long as the front wheels stay on the ground probably not an issue?\n\nAs for the rear sway-bar, I believe it was standard feature on the F350 4 X 4 (opt. on others) and there was a curious little hour-glass shaped bracket with a cold-rivet holding it to the frame in the top expansion and a thru-hole (including in the frame beam) in the lower expansion for the retaining bolt for the drop-link for the sway-bar. This has always been my quick reference to differentiate the F350 frames from the F250 examples, as one just looks into the rear wheel well to see it (no climbing under the truck) and as riveted, even if the bar is not present the reinforcement bracket usually remains. \n\nYou have a really nice truck, that I hope you'll be able to get at least most of your investment back out of?

The only challenge was that when you broke the rear axle (which happen too regularly!), typically it was no big deal getin' home, just 'lock-in' the front axle and off you go! But with a locked front axle, with big tires, and on the pavement, you were in a bit of challenge to steer the thing, so you just locked one hub; but you have to pick which one, because of the \"torque-steer\" effects! This being that under throttle the truck push-steers into the direction opposite of the drive axle, and on decel it swerve-pulls to the side of the drive axle, and with quite a bit of force due to the big tires! So I concluded that it was always better to lock-in the passenger side axle as then under acceleration in which the driver should have full control over I could counter with steering input, but if I had to slam on the brakes, i wouldn't be able to overcome the torque steer, so I figured it might be better to go into the ditch rather than cross the centerline in an emergency situation.\r\n\r\nScott.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1685123947, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11565530, "authorName": "arkbuildernoah (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/arkbuildernoah/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1685133600, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11568069, "authorName": "Badman67", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/badman67/", "bidAmount": 40500, "content": "$40,500 bid placed by Badman67", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1685152877, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 11568157, "authorName": "Bdogz69", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bdogz69/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@pbf777 and @Todd_Z. good stuff guys.
