    Re: Who narrows rear axles in

    Beer, depending on your situation,shortening the rear tubes is not a very hard thing to do. If you have a 4 inch grinder and are capable of welding,its a snap.Axels on the other hand are best left to machine shops.or you can call a company like Curry and over the phone they will walk you thru the process of measuring from the centers out to flanges and make your axles for you.They will put what ever spline combo you need.There may be some portable welders in your area that would be capable of cutting the tubes out and shortening them.Hope this helps.am sure others will be replying soon.Good luck.
    Keep smiling,makes them wonder whats on your mind.

        Welding on or around an axle tube can provide
        a fast initial lesson in "How Metals Warp 101".

        Best to be set-up in a proper jig-brace to maintain the same
        precise before/after alignment ("true-ness") of the axle tubes.

        Good shops know this & have the equipment & experience to do it correctly.


        Far too many shops do not. -- HTH --

                          Check with Errol Kampschroeder in Big Springs, Kansas (just west of Lawrence on 40 hiway). Errol can cut and weld the housing and he can also shorten your axles.
