No number between them most tire shops should know what your looking for with just that 185R14. As far as finding a one ton axle check CL and Junk yards. Usually junk yards will find one if they don't have one and give you a quote. Install isn't that complicated really. DC drive shaft, some u bolts holding axle in, brake lines, stronger leaf springs, and shocks. Any mechanic would be able to do it for you if you don't feel comfortable.

http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=4485&selected_year=1988 I think I got mine from another place for a little cheaper I only bought rears. But my leaf springs are worn out too so it still sags. However I do have airbags so between the new shocks and airbags it works out.

OK, should this thing be here? If not, what should? (minicruiser)

Okay so I got curious and looked into my system and this is how it is setup. You very well may already have an auto CB by the isolator I already do. I made a mistake and the other black wire coming off the Auto CB in the diagram I made for you is supposed to be red as well.. -

Forget the buses there are none in either of our systems. I did make a diagram for your system already. -

Here is a diagram I made up that should work in your system. -

Well I sent you a Hangouts request. The thing is I'm planning on leaving, likely this week, on a trip to move to FL for the winter.. If you were considering driving here or me driving there... -

Oh and also your changer is not grounded See my last post not a bus box but an auto reset circuit breaker. Like a fuse that doesn't fry when it trips. -

No I was mistaken it's not a bus box. It's a circuit breaker that trips when too much amperage goes through it and auto resets when it drops. In my system I have 2 of them. The first one has 2 wires leading off it and the + from the converter/charger. They then go to another one by the batteries which has a lead from the Isolator from the engine. I'm not 100% on how all that works but realize I may need to get bigger Auto CB since I'm guessing they are only 5 amps. Which would explain why the load feeding feature of my converter charger is not working. So thank you actually for helping me figure out something was wrong with my system as well. They say the best way to learn is to teach that has been my experience as of late. In your case it protects the battery from an overload from either the Isolator or charger. If you do just go with a converter/charger I'd suggest being sure the charger goes to the battery where the isolator hooks up to the CB. Which may already be the case I don't know. Then the other side of that CB would go to the 12v box which there is a wire going from where the battery hooks up to something. But I think your system is wired wrong. -

If you really wanted to I'm sure you can just get a converter charger and make sure it's installed correctly as well. It would likely be less work and less expensive. -

I learned something here as well what I thought were bus boxes are in fact auto reset circuit breakers. I'm thinking I'll need to replace mine due to the bigger converter I purchased. And you have one already at your battery. The little box with two studs sticking out. And I realize he meant a 30 amp main breaker for the AC box which it can come with for $9 more on that site. -

My converter only draws 7 amps 30 is way too much, the power center you linked is only a 3 amp draw. -
I purchased one from harbor freight its 12v. Goes up to 100psi it claims but it is way better then the 10 buck one I got from there. They let me return it towards the next size up plus I had a 25% off coupon so it was about $26 regularly $35. They have a $50 model that hooks directly to a battery which is more powerful. The one I have has no issue getting up to 65 psi slowly but it makes it.

A circuit can contain many outlets but you have to be sure not to overload a circuit with too many appliances or it will pop the circuit breaker in ac systems and fuses in DC systems. My system has 3 breakers 15 amp, 20, and 30. I'm sure the 30 is for the roof ac. 15 is likely the outlets. And 20 for fridge and converter/charger. But in your situation unless you plan on running a bunch of appliances one breaker would be fine. Which it looks like you already have. If you were going get that power center you'd also have to buy the breakers for it 15amp is sufficient for outlets. You'd want a separate breaker for the fridge I'd think though. -

Oh I guess that's an AC box too my bad. -

No that is only DC you don't need anything but a breaker box for AC. -

That other wire going in that same floor hole goes to your battery as well I'm guessing? -

It's a 3 stage system. I've run it without a battery just have to connect the grounds. But I don't think it does what yours does.. -

No my system works flawlessly. I'm showing him my system as a reference. -
