Re: Scout 800 Front axles

["Chance & Rachael Welch" <welch@domain.elided>]

I'm not an expert but from my understanding the front axle needs more beef
than the rear because it takes more thrashing.

Chance Welch SSGT USMC
78 Scout II named " Have You Driven Over a Ford Lately?"
345, 727, D300, Corp.14 bolt rear, D60 front, Spring over, 2" springs, 4"
