I’m engineering and building a mini marsh transport buggy with rubber tracks. I’m looking for 2 steering axles with approximately 3.7 gears and locking diffs. I am planning to have rear wheel steering and run the transfer case with hydraulics instead of a transmission. Top speed is approximately 20mph. Could any one help me learn what are the best axles to use. Total weight is 3500 pounds and approximately 100 HP
 
Thanks for the help
Greatly Appreciated
so I could take a D44 and take from front and put on rear? could also flip it because I won't need the mounts. That should have the pinon turn in the correct direction. That is why I wanted them close to center. for the transfer case. I have no restrictions to work around, exhaust, tanks, hoses, etc.
 
If you have ever looked at a ring and pinion, you'll see that there is a drive side and coast side of the gear tooth interface. Drive side = low angle, coast = high angle. The high angle interface created a high amount of force trying to jack the ring gear away from the pinion.
By swapping a front diffy to the rear, you will reverse the rotation and load the wrong side of the gear tooth. Not how they are designed to live or survive.
 
that is why I would also make the left side the right side because I don't need the mounts. this would put the pinon on the correct side
