Rockwell 20-145

[Ja564rm80]

I'm wondering if a Rockwell 20-145 in stock form would be an upgrade from an 11.5 axle? I know it's heavier but would it in stock form with aluminum hubs and real wheels hold up better then the 11.5. I know about upgrading it but for now would the stock Carrier and axles be better or no?

I've ran a sqhd with a stock carrier and a mini spool from Keck machine for 3 years and it's been fine. I never ran the stock axles tho. I doubt there's much difference in a sqhd and 20-145 stock carrier?

I know several guys run welded sqhd carriers, stock axles and hubs with no failures of them to my knowledge. We have broke a pinion on a sqhd and nothing else was bothered.

20-145 stuff is stout as hell. Stock axle shafts are 2 inch and fine spline so you will be very hard pressed to break them. Never had issues with ours in stock form.

With the 20-145 hubs what are they using for wheels?

This is what I want to know, can you machine them down to 8 lug? or do you have to use a 10 lug wheel?

Wondering if there the same lug pattern as a mid 90s ford cab n chassis that used 10 lug hubs??

8 bolt hubs innner dual and outter dual are being made for this axle. I can keep the wheels I used last year.

Who's hubs are they? And do they work with the stock axles and spindles?

Weld the semi rim centers into a pickup truck rim. Cheap and easy. Isn't the lightest but can get it done on a budget

I was afraid someone would say that, I have aluminum outers now I'd love to keep

No rules announced yet. Just preparing just in case. My frame is cracked so I am going to need to do something with my chassis this year, I'd like to do it just once, yanno! :rockwoot: op:

They will work with f106 spindles. And yes they will fit stock axles. I'm making the hubs and spindles.

I machined a set of stock hubs to fit the 20 bolt pattern on real wheels
