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

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?
