1 Ton axle questions

we can do that, also teh spacers required depend on the year 70 so we will have to look at spacing as well

Not sure of the year of yours, mine are 81 just FYI. I think this can be done. What is the length of your axle tubes flange to flange? Just wondering how they compare.

51 maybe 51 1/2 how close are you to that?

[78304CJ-7]

From back of drum brake to back of drum brake is 52 1/2, add about one inch on each side to the flange and I have 54 1/2. Damm, yours look shorter. Wanna trade lol. What are yousr from, are they DRW? I thought the DRW's where the short ones too. What are you going to cut them down to?

Just the one side i am taking 2"s off the tube, just like i posted in the drivetrain section to accomodate the AMC drivetrain which is offcenter in a CJ....its out of a 69 IH flatbed 23 spline axles 4:56 and a locker

What is the offset of the D70 pumpkin, I looked at mine it looks offset but I am nnot sure by how much?

I have never seen one that wasnt centered (rear)

I am refering to the pinion on the D70 pumpkin, just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I will go and check, I just eye balled it and it looked to be.

Strange.

Also I noticeed when you ut you axles down you take the tubing out of the pumpkin everyone else seem to cut the knuckle side. What is the advantage of doing it your way?
