idea tell me what you think
i just had this idea i may be crazy but i just think it sounds cool. i know there are ways to mount a dual axle with some slight modifications. but is there a way to maybe strip down an rebuild a dual axle to mount up under the front of a 4x4 blazer? i know there would have to be alot of modifications, but its definatly something you dont see every day an prolly will never see again.

no offense but i would see that being totally ill-logical.
Reasons: now where near enough room. the whole purpose for dual axles is so theres more force/drive/traction in the rear to push or pull a trailer or tough terrain, seeing as you would need to engage the 4x4 for a front dual axle to work seems like a washed idea, you wouldn't even be getting a quarter of the power possible as compared to a rear dual axle. I don't want to seem like a buzz-kill. but there is a reason why dually's have "rear" dual axles. only other vehiles such as military or oddball...speciality vehicles have more than 4...but that is 6 or 8, but all those are AWL drive and have momentum in all the wheels at all time.... it would be a money pit. now lift it like 25" put on a rear dual axle with some stacks coming out of the hood with a 350 instead of the 4.3. now that would be sweet! |
