    This is a good read.

    Downside is a lot of moving parts.

    To further the usefulness of the slide/bash plate, I would also make the sides with a bit of a curve, so it would be less likely to get hung up. I would also make it removable so the diff centre is accessable.

    Other than portal axles and increasing wheel diameter, why is there no other way of improving diff height? Why can't you use universal joints, in the pumpkin, with floating stub arms? (I know that there is a hugh amount of torque involved) but if the arms were sufficiently braced, could this not work?

    Couple I know of but big dollars...

    Atomic Axles (don't know if it took off though)


    the other is (sorry to mention them again lol) but the Currie RockJock III Hi Pinion, they rotate the diff housing to gain more clearance..not a lot..but gives a bit extra

    I know this was done back in 85 on a commercial car (Lancia Delta S4 Stradale), but i would hedge a bet that it was done way before then by someone along the line.

    I saw the atomic axles on Extreme 4x4. An excellent mod if you had the cash.

    Yes, supercharging and turbo boosting was developed very early in the automobile history. Someone must've experimented with both.
