I think I've talked to you about widened sammy front axles before... unfortunately just the axle would be more than the cap on my SAS project :o. Otherwise I would because I assume they are damn good axles (the same Heather and Nate are using in their kick, right?).

 The ones that are coming with this and the rest of my front ends are different than the ones in previous versions, mine and Heather's included. The shafts and birfs are made by a different outfit, and come with a Lifetime Guarantee.

Same cost? Higher? I'm cheap and lazy.

The Tracker/Kick 3rd member fits like a glove into the front Sammi housing. No extra parts needed.

Does the kick rear steel carrier fit into the front Sammy axle? If so, I think I might be all set.

Otherwise I'll have to have one of those special machined sammy carriers made up for my axle :-/

Yeah, I bought that lift about 6 months ago... I just HATE CV shafts... I've had to take each one out two or three times a piece to change the boots or put them back together after they pull apart. >:(

I'm just not a happy camper.

Plus, these are future plans... the far, far future of next summer or the summer after...

No, the kick rear steel won't fit in the sammy, either end without a hybrid housing of one way shape or form.

Why not leave the rear diff as is, and and swap the front kick' 3rd member(that's the one that fits) into the front sammi housing for your SAS front diff. (mabey I'm confused)
 If you need a hybrid housing, however...I make them.<--Jay

  How much for a hybrid front sammy/kick axle? Are you using resplined rear axles up front or chromoly. Plus which birf's are you using, sammy or subaru?

I am building rear hybrid housings, and assembled units. If I knew there was a call for front hybrid housings, I'd be happy to look into the cost of building them.
 What qualities would you look for in a front housing? Track width? Stronger front axles? Birfs, or U-joints? Would it be set up for leafs or coils??
 Hit me with some specs. <---Jay

Front 3rd: aluminum
Rear 3rd: steel

I do plan on leaving the rear alone for the SAS, I just wanted to know if it was possible to fit the rear 3rd member from my parts kick into the front Samurai axle, which it seems it isn't. :-/

 If you want the widened sammy front for a kick, or a hybrid front, I make them.
