Default Re: Powered lift axle??

Ive heard of drive axxels that are non-driven when in the up - the have powered differentials in the for switching.

Best way I can think of is there is a unit in the rock crawling group that will allow you to switch in and out - just like a 1:1 transfer case - link this to your transmission then route an additional drive shaft.

Another option might be to make a locking drive shaft - would have a slip collar that would lock and still allow stretch.

biggest issue is maintaining power through to the 2nd or 3rd axels.....


nice question to ponder - thanks for posting ........
