where can i get an axle cut down? (locally hopefully)...specifically the long side of a D44? i can send the axles off to dutchman to be cut and resplined right?..

Ask Dean. I think he does custom axle housings.

Send me a PM with what you want to do.

how much do they charge to cut and respline axle shafts @ dutchman?, or where is the cheapest place?

I get most of mine cut and resplined by currie but they both do good work..one shaft by currie last time I had one done was like 45 bucks.. the more you do the cheaper...

For a local place there is Rear End Specialties. they are on Julian off of Lafeyett in Santa Clara.
Dutchman prices for resplining are $50 for 1, $85/ pair
