    Question Live Axle Conversion

    Iv tried to find info about this night after night but cant find anything.

    Regarding VU's & VX's...

    Has anyone converted or know of any info about replacing the independent rear end with a live axle ?
    (aka solid axle)

    Live axle.... better for towing, better for heavier loads, better for power skids

    Why is this?
    towed plenty of things with an IRS setup. Including 8 tonnes of rolled steel. Two cars and a 4 tonne 12ft auger. No issues at all.
    All done with a VY Cross8

    Wouldn't be easy and really only something that should be done if you want a mega HP drag car.

    Extensive floorpan mods, clear the tailshaft even with a 2 piece.
    Would certainly be different, but if you're going to that extent, go a ladder bar or triangulated 4 link with a box clip.
