If you spin the front housing keeping the chunk facing the way it is stock, the driveshaft ends up being roughly in the center. I know I can take stock 5 tons as they are and simply turn them around making them passenger side drive, then swap knuckles on the front to keep the tie rod in the back. Mud boggers do this all the time. But, if you ever take the chunk apart, which I have, you will see that obviously thay are not intended to be run in reverse all the time. It has a ring and pinion in the top of the chunk. They are designed to put the load on the drive side of the ring gear, if you turn the axle around and run it, you put the load on the coast side. The big gear that hangs down in the housing is helical cut, they create a side load when rotated. Running them as intended puts the load in the direction it was designed for, running them the other way puts the load in the oposite direction. Plus look at a 5 ton chunk, they have a big bearing on one side of the pinion for a reason. On a mudd truck that never sees the highway it is probably fine, but this truck will get driven on the street, especially until I get a big enough trailer to haul it to events. Either way I'm running the axles the way they sit in a 5 ton. I'm gonna rotate my transfercase to make it left side drive. I just figured while I have everything apart, I may throw a second case in there to dive a winch and gain more gearing. As far as yokes go, I would probably take the stock NP200 yokes, machine the flange off and weld a deuce size flange in its place. I never would have thought doing this would hold up, but there is a guy doing it here in Florida for other people, and they beat the crap out of there rigs. I haven't heard of anyone breaking one yet. I'm not affraid to build or fabricate something, that's all part of the fun of messing with this stuff.
