    Default Axel tube lengths

    Has anyone played with different axel tube lengths for different cars. Like some
    Say 33/34 or 33/35 and go to 32/35 or 32/36 and offset it to left more
    In car

    Yes. It is a similar result as moving the pullbar on a car that has one. There is also j bar effects, if you don't correct for that. Longer rr tube means less j bar load to rr.

    It does favor it for drive off corner.

    Also "adjusts" your pinion and driveshaft angles, probably not in a good way.

    How does it affect that?

    I disagree about pinion angle, but driveshaft angle, when looking from above, does change.
