I don't think Ford was happy to lose him when he went with Gibbs. I see this as a break to settle the contract and he will be back in a Ford in 2018 or so.........Wait for it!!
I have a Winters RR axle tube for the 36 1/8" axle. Less than a years use, then I swapped it out for longer one. It is gold anodized aluminum. $80 (+) shipping
Do you want a 2 piston or 4 piston caliper for the LF?
