There is a company making true High Pinion 9" axles here is the link .
The older high pinion 9's ie: Currie used the 8.8 ring gear.

Ok, I am looking to find a set of the mog axles for the beast. Where can I start looking. :cheers:

here are some
those are volvo's...not nearly as strong as mog axles, but fairly strong. I heard you don't want to go over a 35" tire size. are easier to bolt in though, they don't have a torque tube like the mog axles and just have regular style pinions.
would be cool to find some junk ones and bolt those to a 9"
It looks like I will be going with the Exaxt 404's with discs if I can ever get ahold of those **** canucks. Me bieng 11 hours aead of Pacific time isn't helping matters. I am not for sure what it will cost me, but I will need to get something that is just about going to bolt up to what I have. I have little to no time when I get to come home to do any wrenching. What do size tires will i be able to go with once the 12'spring lift and portals are under the truck? I am thinking 48" with no problem.
Man I think thats going to be hard to do with little wrenching. I haven't done a whole lot of research on portals, but with their pinion being so high and long I know it causes problems with most oil pans.
I know exact had a blazer, so they should be able to guide you in the right direction. Search on CK5, I believe they had a post about it a couple years ago.
Edit: I see you want to do a 12" lift with portals? That is going to be crazy lifted with a high center of gravity. What are the goals for this truck? For bolt in application you can't beat a Dana 60 and a 14 bolt.
Also, I know axle wrap is horrible with them.
Perhaps bolt the portals on top of the 12" lift springs? That would knock the lift down about 6" and put the pinion where it would be with a 6" lift, but still give about 12" of lift. Bolt them on top of 6" springs? Pinion would be in about the stock location and cut fenders to fit large tires.
sua portals, that would be cool. the high arched springs wouldn't wrap, so no need for traction bars
what side drop are portals?
I have a 60 rear but a 10 bolt up front. That is for sure the first thing to go if I cant get a good price on the axles. I am planning on going with a leaves for now, just want to have a little larger than normal trail rig that will handle well on the rocks and a little in the mud. The SWB chevy shouldn't have too much trouble with the portals, especialy if I double up with another transfer case. I will have to have some one put the lift on, and if I go with a 14, will proly special order it with a selectable from somehwhere. The thing that sucks about workin overseas is I cant be there to do the work, but the good thing isthat it affords me a little extra greenbacks to throw at the problem. Oh yeah, any recomendations on reputable lift shops around aggieland?
The only selectable locker available for 14 bolts right now is an ARB and they are about $800, which is more than the entire axle will cost if you go with a detroit. If you do decide to go with something a little more conventional than mogs, I can probably do some work for you, as I am "fairly familiar" with chevies. A 6" lift on a fullsize will tower over most other vehicles out on the trail and still be stable enough to wheel well.
if you let robert work on your truck it might end up lookin like pig pen. hah i bet you have a 6 inch lift sittin around somewhere dont you?
Nope, sold it already.
your 10 bolt handled 38s?Quote:
