What are you V6 GV guys doing when making the hybrid CV as described on the main page tech article:

Now, the Passenger side:
Compare the two CV stubs. Notice that the GV is shorter than the Kick. The difference in the two side lengths is because the air diff moves the centerline over about 1″ towards the passenger side.

What you want to do here is swap the Kick stub onto the longer GV mid-shaft and outer CV.
1. Carefully cut the band around the CV boot.
2. Remove the GV’s stub/ CV cup and replace it with the stub/cup off the Kick, making a “hybrid” CV shaft. Use the new clamps on the boot.

On my XL7, which I think uses the same CV's as a V6 GV, the Sidekick stub is smaller than the GV one, so they are not interchangeable. Just wondering if any GV owners ran into this and what they did.

In case anyone runs into the same problem, this was my solution: I ended up cutting the end of the cup off a Sidekick inner CV and transplanting it onto the XL7 cup. The cost for a local welder to do this was less than the cost of a Sidekick Sport CV which would have accomplished the same thing (but would not have been upsized for the V6's extra power).

just curious as to why you didn't put the three lobed end on so you could run drivers side CV shafts on both sides?  They are much easier to change out and you would only need to have one extra for emergencies.

As far as I know, nobody has figured out how to do that on a 2nd gen because no one has done the Hagen widening mod on one.

Hagen widening mod is not required, if fact without the widening mod you have a little more room for clearances.  keep up the good work.

I thought about doing it since it would be no more work than what I ended up doing, but I searched high and low on at least 2 forums, and could not find ANY relevant information pertaining to running a driver's CV on the passenger side of a 2nd gen. I was thinking about it while I was installing my 3" lift on the passenger front and really cursing that CV for being such a PITA design...how hard could it be?
