Can you run a Stak t-case with a LC off set axle (1 Viewer)

I don't know to much about these. I have tried to contact the company.... No joy there

I know that proffitts sells the centered diff axles, but if I don't have to go that route it would be nice.

I think this is the new Question of the week on mud..

The answer is "Maybe"

Some claim to have run an offset Axle with a Centerd T-case, and they say it works..

Most people will tell you to get a Centered Rear Axle.. This is what i did! If you already have Gears and lockers, then the best solution is a Hybrid Rear Axle.. Proffitts Sells them, and Redline is also going to be offering them for sale aswell.. PM me if your interested.

A Nice thing about the Minitruck Axle is that you could run the stock Drum Brakes with the Factory E-Brake.. since you will be losing that option with your Stak..

It's all about angles. if you can keep the angle of the shaft to 30* or less at full droop you can get away with it. If your talking about linked or long travel suspension you will probably exceed the 30* and bind like crazy. Also, Staks and Atlas's are easy to do disk parking brakes on!

it can work, but it will suck. putting in an axle is easy

if you run a CV if will hold better the angles . ?

Could possibly work on trailered rock crawlers, won't work at all at 60 mph!!!

no

It will as long as the angles are not excessive.

Now, the chances of that happening....

To bad someone can't design a Bluetooth driveshaft!

ifs mini-truck rears are as wide as a 60 rear, cheap as dirt and tough as nails if you truss them up good

my recent d70 is centerd while my tcase is offset. i can do 70mph without vibes and flex like mad. no cv either. but my shaft is long. and so is my truck's.

Lewd, but that is the key..

and correct me if im wrong, but i think an 80 series is not quite as far off set as 40/60...

I believe that is correct... Or it could be an optical illusion.

Correct! 80 dif is only offset 4" from center. I believe the 40/60 is 7" off center.

BTW: just snooped around on the Stak site and snagged a pic of the parking brake....
