I want to change out the LT95 4speed gearbox for a 5/6speed gearbox (auto or manual) but in doing this I lose my 6x6 function
I see a lot of f450 & 550’s, jeeps, dodges chevies using for 9” drive through axles
Wow, nice truck.

Why is changing out the transmission impacting your middle axle?

Got a link for those 9" you know about?

I can't think of a 6x6 in the US other than MD-chassis trucks. Like our 5-ton Military trucks which use Rockwells:

Cool. Can you post a pic of the transmission and its two rear outputs?

But, maybe you are using "gear box" differently than we do in the US? Transfer case?

Wow. That is cool. Thanks for the pic.

Sort of like a 3-out FWD transaxle mounted front-back.

And, you plan a more-normal transmission and transfer case with a drive through middle axle? And, that will be always-on-aft-2-axles plus a selectable front?

"I see a lot of f450 & 550’s, jeeps, dodges chevies using for 9” drive through axles"

You are saying, those trucks have three axles? I agree with Char, that axles under a F550 would be plenty for your application. I guess it is possible to over-weight axles...but, generally, the risk is over-torque. What motor you got? What is the torque output?
