I was reading some of the tech articles and found this

Which has got me thinking GV's and Xl-7's have wider front ends already so if you did this mod and used the shorter sidekick axle shaft would it make up for the space added by the right sided bolt on set-up??
Hummmmmm some thing to think about

I'm doing this mod soon.  And because I've removed the calmini diff drop arms I should be able to keep using the gv shafts.  I removed the drop arms because it was letting the diff twist and over extend the CV's causing 2 to fail.  




After removing these, no more failing CV sofar.

So you have no drop on the front???
George

yes, still have the some amount of travel in the front, I just removed the diff drop arms.  These are suppose to keep the CV's in normail range.  I was running OME struts (gives you the same travel as calmini strut spacer plus and calmini strut) with the stock arms for 6 months no CV problems.  Within a few weeks of the diff drop arms 1 CV died than few weeks later the replacment died.  Had a good look at the front end and with the drop arm the hole front diff at the passager side (driver side for you) would move enought when under load to let the inner CV pull pass the retaining clip in the cv cup.  Put the stock drop arm back in and very little movement in the front diff.  Might not be as big a problem if your not running lockers in the front as you can't load one side up.
