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 |

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. |
Nice engineering! These kits get better looking all the time.

I must say that this bolt on floater kit works perfectly. Ive not given it any thought whatsoever since it was initially installed on the Gen 2 48 Hour Camaro in January. 8,000 road miles and 5 sets of tires worth of autocross laps later, its still perfect. Nice work!

I didn’t notice it at first. But the parking brake mount is on top. I think usually it’s on the bottom under the axle. It should be easy to swap them from side to side. Just my thought Bill

I’m not sure but I think you put it top or bottom to switch the direction of pull for park brake. I’m thinking it should work either way.

You all good to go!

I can verify that the pic from Currie is correct for OEM installs. I did change mine from OEM install to get the brake caliper in front (lower CG when applying the brakes) and also keep the brake pull coming in from the front. I swapped out brake sides basically and keep the pull lever on the top ... check out the pics here from my thread: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthr...34830&page=134 |
Looks Great :)
You really cannot mount them wrong per say. This kit is VERY versatile and can be properly installed more than one way.
Calipers can be mounted rear/front of the wheel, as well as the e-brake cable approach above/below axle tube and all depending on what side/direction the MillerBuilt adaptor is mounted. Sonar Chief took it a step further and has the caliper and e-brake cable approach on the same side. All just depends on what works best for each particular application and possible variables. |
