[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14541385, member: 10303"] Several years ago a member on Modfords that was a machinist and had a large company designed and built an aftermarket lower cage with heavier duty bearings, better flanges and so on. he only made the one order of them so the only people that got any were the first buyers. he quickly discovered that the cost and time involved was going to be much higher than even the first estimates that were high enough to scare off most "flakes" that always express interest but vanish when it's time to pay. So he stopped the second run of them and nobody else has stepped up to try their hand at it. Another thing that people were waiting for was the Strange Engineering heavy duty IRS axles for the 03 Cobra. Something that would be better than the DSS ones. But to do a proper job you need to do more than just make a fancy axle. You need to design new uprights. You have to be able to use a bigger bearing, because you need to have a bigger axle stub in the wheel flange, because you need a bigger axle stub on the end of the half shaft. Do a half way job and you just get more broken axles and wobbling wheels like with the DSS axles. So after reading all this I have no useful suggestion on what you can actually DO that will be sellable. [/QUOTE]
