Outer Limits 4x4 Board

if i cant find an axle to suit the rocky would it be worth cutting down
an axle of another truck?

once u cut thru the housing whats inside has to be shortened as well...
how would this part be done cut and reweld?

Sorry mate, you'll have to get them made.

And any number of other places who can make 'em.

just askin to see if anyone else had done it by themselves.

petersons 4wheel n offroad cut down a dana 60 in their mag
but didnt give much more away.

thats y wondering bout components n how stuff works

When you cut down the axle tube you need to either:

(a) cut down the axle shaft and it resplined (only works if the axle shaft is not necked down)

(b) get new axles.

option (b) will always be stronger if the aftermarket axles are made from decent material.

Why do you need to cut axles down anyway - it saves a lot of time and hassle if you don't have to do it.

yea I was thinking the same. rockeys arn't that skinny and what do you think flares are for.

Option 3 cut flange off end of axle, have machine shop bore interference fit in flane and press flange onto axle to required length, weld outside of flange "only" to axle, bore interferance hole in a bit of 2" solid round, champher inside to clear flange to axle weld, press on solid, weld to axle and to axle flange.
