i have an 84 nissan 4x4 extended cab, i was wondering if the chevy axles would work ok with the front drive shaft angle to the passenger side the t-case is divorced and center with the truck. my nissan running gear is all stock with the exception of the chevy axles... i have a limited budget.. will this work or am i gonna bust driveshafts left and right. the rear diff on my truck is shot so thats why im using the chevy axles, 12 bolt rear a d44 up front.. all help appreaciated

What side drop is the Chevy axle? I too have a 720 and I considered dropping in a V8 and thus bigger axles, as far as I could tell you wont have much of a problem bc of how long the front shaft is. The length helps keep the angles smaller. Although you'll probably want a bigger shaft.

I dont know any of this for sure, its just my 2 cents
