    x3. Stay low in the gears. Gonna have to cut a 60 any way you do it I guess. I like the Dana 18 and staying with off set drivetrain. Might be a bit of a challenge with the rear. Good luck.

    Let us in on how you do the rear Dana 60. I have one here that is centered pinion and 65" WMs-WMS. I am going back and forth on how to do it. I can use a model 20 transfer case, but the rear driveline angle might be too steep (even with a CV), OR I can narrow 5 inches off of the passenger side and build the front to match. I really don't want custom shafts, so I am stuck.

    i am able to use a dana 60 rear centered chunk if i rotate the housing so that the pinion angle is in line with the t-case output then i will use a cv shaft to compensate for the off set....
