Front Axle

Postby collegekid » Fri May 27, 2011 10:37 am

What is the reason for switching the front axle on the 4WD truck from having the diff. on the passenger side, to moving it to the driver side, all the new trucks on the road its on the driver side, is this just to make the linkage to the tcase easier to mount on the driver side of the Tranny hump, or is there a different reason?

The only thing I can think of is the exhaust. Good luck with getting anything bigger than 4" past the T-case. Massage the cab and frame for 5".
