He's right.
I found a machine shop here in Lapeer that has a Lathe big enough to turn whole axle.
It was a few years back, gave the guy a hundo, thought it was good price.
Can drive by and get nameif you need.
As far as durability is it worth it?
The tool to bore it yourself costs over$ 650
hey i had that guy do the same for me ithink it was 100$ worked great

or charge people to do theirs. i broke both dana 60 rear shafts and a front in 1 day... id pay to get upgraded to 70 shafts. just gotta get different spiders?
I am thinking a$ 75 for a tool or$ 100 for me to do it plus gas money.
why not just get d70 use it? i have used die grinder to make shafts to fit.

ever looked up a price for 6.17 gears for a dana 70? they cost like $460... lolol plus $100-200 just for the axle itself... id rather pay $100 to get my 60 bored out...
Also...liter and more ground clearance
what needs to be bored out to make the 70 shafts work? what else is needed besides axleshafts and spider gears?
outer part of the housing. and nothing
