If you could source a Dana 70 from a Kodiak, you wouldn't need adapters for the front wheels. Food for thought...

yeah, i thought about the 70 from a kodiak but its way to wide I was thinking of putting the i-beam axle out of my kodiak under it but its like 10" to wide I love how the kodiak axle turns you can almost turn on a dime I also heard there is not many axle ratio's for the 70 i need to find out what ratio my rear is.

Damn, that sounds sweet. I was wondering about a Dana 70 Kodiak swap into a D-max
