cool cool, I always thought they were three inches longer.
I'll double check but I'm almost sure that was his original plan. The larger leaf springs are a pain on the 40 and 60 stuff. Something about having to notch the housing or outboard the springs or something. I don't remember the details 100%. I just saw it as a chance to get a wide axle housing for a low cost. He was selling custom 30 spline shafts for cheaper than most at the time also.
