I'm looking into having a set of 1 tons narrowed. Chances are I'm just going to get the shafts cut and resplined unless I can find an alternative. Anybody have any ideas on doing this?

Be careful, some axles shafts don't have the material to use when you cut and respline. For instance, take a look at a 14 bolt and you will see the shaft is slightly smaller than the splined area.

Can't keep it full width and stay street legal. What's the plan for your dad's project with 1 tons?
BTW so everybody knows, the plan is to stuff them under a JEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!

wayne just came out of the closet bwahahahaha
Use two short 14 bolt shafts and narrow it 6". That'll get the WMS to WMS in at 61"...

Hey Ryan, just remember I will still have a 1 ton K5 sitting in the driveway. At least I'm not totally selling out since the Jeep will basically be a GM with a smaller lighter skin with much better visibility. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You forgot our trail guide from the UCP run. Although we did wind up with 1 a-hole in our group and it figures he was in a Jeep. /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif
