Can you build one for the front of a F650? I think a chromoly shaft and truetrac unit would be great internals, but would need the outer hub setup for 10x285.75 bolt pattern with disc brakes. For residential contracting, it’d be plenty strong

You shouldn’t have any issues just running high-steer (attached passenger side knuckle to the pitman arm). The solid bushing should be installed on both sides as it removes the weak kingpin spring.

Because kingpins are always trouble, death wobble, spring center pins break, rides like shit, u joint junk. Honestly you get just as much time out of ball joint suspension under normal use as solid axles but much easier to fix. Only thing king pins have over ball joints is durability. Other than that they are no better.

This is going to be my last build... That said, I noticed a guy wanting portals on axles that were designed to be the last ones you ever needed. Seems counterintuitive to put a portal box on an able axle meant to crush rocks on a hopper/bouncer. Maybe on a highway set of gears in the 3-4's for lift too, but these axles are not what he's needing. Portals on a Dana 80 ring/pinion = transfer case delete and one more week link with a new breaking point?! 🤔🤣🤣
