What do you think about swapping the axles and tubes to make it passenger side drop?
all that work just have a axle made .
and prob less work to do a driver drop t-case .
Is the small one a d60?
center is our generation dana 60 k30 spec unit .
i wana do a custom axle with these parts .
super king pin inner C https://reidracing.biz/products/super-kingpin-inner-c/
super king pin knuckles https://reidracing.biz/products/super-kingpin-knuckles/
free spin kit to skip the unit bearing .
some sort of beefy hub for the outers like a yukon hub .

compare that tho to a older b/j 44 or 10 bolt .
If I were to do that, I’d cut the tube, find DOM to use for a sleeve to swap tubes. They are 3.75 and 3/8 wall.
I feel so inadequate with my puny 10 bolts now...
now your avatar is a perfect fit
47 spline RCV stub shaft. No lockouts or drive flanges needed
1480 vs 1550 shaft
And if you ant to eliminate the upper balljoint on the 05-up SD60s

And personally I’d take a unibearing axle all day, bc you’re not gonna pop a shaft in an easy spot and freezing your ass off in a creek to swap out a shaft is nice as hell removing 4 bolts for the bearing instead of finger focking some wheelbearings on a spindle.
Ho lee chit! That's awesome!
Any chance you have a kp 60 axle to throw in the comparison pic?

Wait, nvm. I had 1410 on the brain but it's a 1480. Duh...
I wouldn't think twice about running the front axle from my dodge under a squarebody. With good b/js and unit bearings, they handle pretty much everything you can throw at them. The brakes are huge compared to a gm d60. Worst part is the wheels. You have to run a 17 minimum and stock dodge wheels have a crazy deep offset. Around 6.5 inches if I remember.
How about dumbing that down a little so the less “axle savy” of us can understand it better.

I don't think you realize how much work that is to do. Like, if you are going to do that, just start from scratch and build a totally custom axle with all new parts.
Swapping for a driver side drop t case would be a million times easier than doing that

I mean if you got EGCS to build you a high pinion housing and swapped all your parts over it wouldn’t be a bad setup.
