Can you flip an axle

[ECKSJAY]

Also, you'll need to switch to left-hand thread lug nuts, or your wheels will fall off.

When I flipped my axle, I scratched my hood!?

 

[penz]

There's one...

That axle has had a little more than just a flip. Unless my eyes are falling out that looks like a portal axle and I have never saw a portal axle where the axle center line was lower than the wheels. Maybe this came from a low rider Jeep cruisin' the mall on 24" spinners before they flipped it.

what if you removed the tubes from the pumpkin and swapped sides, then swapped knuckles? Just curious.

you would still have to deal with oiling issues concerning the now higher pinion bearings that were previously under the oil line

No, I meant swapping the tubes from side to side, that way the pumpkin would stay upright. I can't see why not, but iikd st`}ed abovo, just go and find the`ight axle to begin with and save the trouble time and $.

Yeah, like the ones that chevy put in their baja chevettes. HP front 44, HP60 rear, 205 case, 454 h.o. motor....and bumpers like the ones that came on the "BAJA" edition S-10's....assgas:

Whatever dude, stop the hating. You obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about.

not only does the picture not show the pinion, the description clearly states it is a low pinion.

Chevy used millions(?) of low pinion, passenger side drop, D44s. If they ever used a high pinion it was extremely, extremely rare.

 

[scorpio_vette]

sorry i missed the part about the high pinion. i thought the argument was the chevy never did 44. i should really get more sleep.

Pass side drop

If anyone want/needs pass side drop D44's out of Jeep trucks, i know a place where there are about 15 of them and they would be VERY cheap. I am in Va if you want them?
