dual case driveshaft length?

Ok since the mounting points for the driveshafts moves back 6" with the install of the front reduction box (half case) and the adapter can you just take your shafts down and have 6" added to them?


I've got something going here with my rig and am thinking that dual cases would be the cats meow with my little 31's and the second locker. Sort of a sleeper/crawler thing.


Thank you.

Junkers I expect you to write a thread reviewing your front ifs locker after you test it. I love mine, but I only play in mud and general woods romping. I wanna hear how somebody (you) likes it in rocks and higher traction surfaces. But I think you'll like it. With dual lockers you need about 5% of the momentum you would need for obstacles previously. Then dual cases...you'll be like a super slow motion video.
