huge u-joints and axle shafts

Turn your diff's upside down and they'll rotate correctly...they're both center drop so it shouldn't be a big problem other than spring perches. I'd rather change spring perches than have to run some wierd reverse rotation T-case which I guarantee would be something custom and expensive.

actually the perches are on top and bottom and could just flip em over . . only prob I think i'm gonna have if I do that is the vent tubes on the rears and on the back the break lines would be under the rear and probably get torn off . . . i had heard that on alot of the big rears you could rotate the hogs head 180 degrees and put it back in to flip the drive shaft rotation . . that's why i had pulled it apart but these are unable to be rotated like that . . .
 
Vent lines and brake lines should be easier to deal with I'd think...flipping them is the only practical way to get them rotating correctly.

Cool build!

That first picture (the one with 44's on the front) reminds me of a Mad Max vehicle.

Very cool:bow::bow::bow:
 
oh yeah and i just think this is a cool pic . . i never thought 44's could look so small lol

Pretty cool setup you got there. 15-20 ton axle huh? What size tires are on those?
 
yeah it's a little ugly right now .. plan on doing the body work and bumpers lately and those are 53's (17.5-25's) on it right now . . suppose to be picking up a set of 67x34-25's when the guy that has em gets back from overseas .
edit oh yeah fogot to add 3rd member is 4.63 and has about a 3.5 or just a hair more at the wheels for a diff reduction of right at 16.7

how much did you pay for the wheels and tires? I work at a tire shop that deals with bigger stuff like that. those tires are expensive even used. we just sold a pair of used 20.5-25's for $550 each, thats the next size up from what you have.
