I had some custom axles made for my 350HP 350ci Jeep CJ5 a while ago. They were made from I think it's called STA-TUFF. They were splined on each end and allowed the use of locking hubs on the rear. I don't know if the blanks come long enough with the flange on it from the manufacturer for our PW style. What you could do is make a simple shaft with splines at each end and just run a front axle drive flange. It would work similar to what I had on the Jeep. The 4 wheel locking hubs were great for towing and very easy to repair. They made great " fuses" in the driveline as well. My shafts are still going strong after 8 years and 35 mudders. Just a thought. Terry
