    Tatra T815 my saga ...,

    The R&P's are slightly staggered so 1 side of swing axles is slightly ahead of the opposite side, the bearing journal segments for the swing axle run in the same housing the R&P's cannot collide, openings in the housings also limit, there is some work to do here as the factory bump stops do...

    Yes their is a difference, you will not see any planetary hubs in Dakar & Rallye Raid trucks, so their is always a trade off, you can get a hi speed auxiliary o/d box but it would not match non planetary, also bare in mind speed limits on the tyres, most of all the large OD tyres are limited to...
