Cruiser 9" vs 8" high pinion strength
Can anyone out here comment on the strength of the cruiser 9" diff vs the 8 inch high pinion diff in the forward drive front axle application.. The 9" is driven on the coast side of the tooth, whereas the high pinion is driven on the drive side.. Does the difference in tooth drive side make up for the difference in ring gear size?
Just another crazy idea of mine.. I got thinking that I could use a mini axle with a sleeve on the short side and run a 40/60 short side inner axle shaft to get 60 axle width in the front for my SOA axles. High pinion would improve driveline angles. Is it worth it? I do like doing things the hard way..
