so im thinking were pretty much a go on the rockwells...found some toploaders locally for 1400. which isn't bad considering were in a small town on the eastcoast.

but with a driverside drop t-case, and a centered rockwell chunk how do we go about this. a) im thinking were going to need to lengthen the driveshaft A LOT. b) im not really sure how were going to keep it out of the oil pan. its going to be on leafs, so im not worried about its clearance of links and stuff.

turn the chunk to make it offset and then turn the axle to your desired side.

got a pic of that...im not seeing how you rotate everything. when you spin the top, then then pinion would face outward wouldn't it?

have you even seen a rockwell?

Guess you haven't searched either??

angle is angle, as long as your drive shaft clears and you dont exceed the given angle for your joint you are fine.
