Hi everyone,
A 45 series front axle is 55.7" WMS to WMS and I wondered if it is possible to widen the front axle to the width of an 80 series front axle (63.3" WMS to WMS)? Adding about 3.8" to each side of the axle tube. Also, would 80 series axle shafts fit into the 45 series 3rd member?
I was wondering about this since I possibly want to do an SOA conversion in the future and the extra width would look better and also help a lot with the added height of the conversion.
Sorry if this is possibly a stupid question or in the wrong place, just wanted to ask if anyone else has attempted this or knows if it would work.
Thanks!
