    Will help uni at diff end not at gear box end. Will stuff up Caster and str like a fork lift. Also prop shafts lengths,Brake pipes,Shocks, Bump stops and Drag link. Centre of gravity wiil change. You would have to be keen to want to do this. I doubt it would be engineerable for street.

    But if i was to put the housing on an angle but unbolt the swivel balls and bolt them back on straight . Wouldn't that fix the steering ? I'm not worried about having to shorten the shafts as that can be done easy enough. And with putting the angle on the diff it would take some angle off the gearbox uni as you are lifting the front of the shaft up . I could be wrong but i'm just thinking of everyway possible to do it the best way . Thanks

    Sounds feasible. If going to all this grief may as well stick Rangie gear + Suspension under it and Toymotor or Poo-trol Diffs
    Have Fun! RR.

    What do you think of this setup Blknight ? providing everything was welded up right and balanced right i think it could work .

    This is not uncommon. If the pinion points up you will also need to use a doble cardin shaft.

    On Toy diffs they cut the ends off the diff and rotate to correct castor before rewelding.
