    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    This is the exact look I would like to achieve, original styling but has the subtle difference of the 11.00-20 bias bar-grip tyres for better cruising speed or lower RPM`s and better fuel economy etc.

    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    Totally agree. Luckily my 9.00`s are 40+ years old and are very perished and DEAD, so I`ve got to get some kind of new tyres anyway.

    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    The idea is not to go faster. The idea is : 1) to try to reduce unnecessary wear/drag on the tyres and drive train components - when the truck is just being used for road use. 2) To get better MPG on the road AND to get Lower RPM`s at cruising speed and/or increase cruising speed at the...

    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    For me, I like the "stock" appearance of a Deuce. I`m not personally a fan of Bobbed Deuce`s and I also think they lose their much loved style when super singles are fitted. Even just putting on non-bargrip road tyres, really changes the look of the truck and for me, it`s a quite negative...

    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    Hi, thanks for your reply but I`m afraid you've misunderstood me. I`m not talking about bobbing a Deuce or removing any axles from the truck. I`m talking about removing the power drive to one of the rear axles - by doing so fuel economy and tyre wear will be improved. My question is which is...

    Definitive conclusions - Which rear axle is best to disable and how?

    Hi guys, I`ve read varying opinions on this, but some of these are from many years ago. So, I was wondering what the current thoughts are on this please and why? 1) Which of the two rear axles is best to disable in the Deuce if you are looking to get better fuel economy and less tire wear...
