Retube Axles

ghetto · Nov 16, 2016

I live in Glenwood Springs and I am looking to have a couple axles widened. I am looking for someone that has experience doing it. If it's someone's first time I would rather do it myself. I still might but I want to get a quote from someone that isn't too far away that can do it. Denver is only a couple hour drive or Grand Junction. Anybody have any recommendations?

Mitch at Ufab in Lehi Utah. He has the right tools and knows how to do it right.

What are you working with and what's the goal? Does Code 4x4 in Rifle do that kind of work?

what kind of axles and why do you want them wider?

It's a Currie 60 front and a prorock 60 rear. They were for a really narrow application. I am wanting almost full width. I might of found someone. I'll keep you posted.

Machining new tubes, most likely the RJ60 3" tubes and 3.25 or 3.5" rears. Machining existing inner C's off and full float spindles in the rear can be time consuming as well. A remachine of fit tolerances for reassembly.

Drilling out plug welds are not an easy task, mill seems to be the most time efficient with a specialty axle fixture.

Ufab It's 3" tubes front and rear. What do you charge for doing an axle?
