Ouverson has a 5.13 ratio but by the time you put 3 chunks assembly's on the work bench and buy the 3 gear set kits ($1,800 ea.) and some bearings and lots of labor = $7,500. Just go buy some 11.00 tires and be done with it.
I fab the 5 1/2" round tube housings and make the tube fork ends. I make the axles shafts from alloy 4340. 225,000 tensile strength per square inch.. The customer wanted 3.90 gear ratio final drive, all axles are driven with lockers in both rears.
I have built axles with welded planets but were for a truck that weighted 1/2 what a M1078 does and much smaller tires. I do not have pic's of the welded planets for the rears. Pic's are for basic info., do not ask me to build these axles, because a lost my rear end making them.
