Apparently I’m swapping in a 14 bolt 8 lug now that my rear end went boom after purchasing my first 89 Chevy truck. I need to address the front now.
My truck is pretty much being overbuilt for overlanding but also to be my daily while my bronco is my fun toy. I have a Dana 60 kingpin available but want to retain good road manners. Unfortunately the guy with the Dana wants $1500 so it’sa steep price.
Would a big brake kit suffice on the 8.5 front diff or is it really that weak? New to Chevy trucks so some input is appreciated.
