Hey all, ok i am doing the solid front axle, and well the rear i have is a dana 44 but it is off centered. I know i am definately a unique rig here. The yoda leaf springs and grand cherokee axle is nice, but i am wondering, WILL THE OFF CENTER CAUSE A PROBLEM ?



I heard it wont but i may need a longer shaft.. That is ok.. i just dont want to break one axle since it is longer.. I am running a trak loc and 4.10 gears, about 350 hp and 425 torque. Will this hold ya all think?



thanks ya all, and great to hear there is some house cleaning...

dana 44 should hold up but thats a lot of power to push if your running low the truck in low gear much you\'ll go through u joints like mad. should get a dana 60 for the rear or a corp 14 bolt gm rear end thats what I run now.



I just swapped frames less work then swapping axles and worrying about suspension alignment http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif
