Mack R model ten wheeler dump

Hi Lmackattack I'm trying to figure out when you said you moved the front axle forward , did you just slip it forward on the spring or get shorter springs and remount them ? BTW I got my Mack cab and it looks good . The only other thing is how did you lock your rear axle . Thanks Mike

Hi Mike sorry I missed your question

To move the front axel simply move it ahead of the rivet and lock it down. I use the stock springs with just a single leaf. I remove the 2 helper springs so I get more articulation. you may have to do some adjusting after the cab is mounted where you want it.

to lock in the axel in you need to remove the axel(s) from the truck then take the diff out. take the diff halves apart and inside you will see a triangle that holds the 3 sun gears rotate on. take one of the 3 sun gears off the triangle and place it between the other 2 sun gears. now bolt the halves together and it will be fully locked.

Personally I like both axels lock in but I do mostly extreme off roading with my trucks.
