Best I can tell it's about 1/4 "or less but that's using a straight edge
Don't know how it handled, bought Rubi from copart , front end collision, sold everything that I didn't wantLook through the tubes with the carrier and shafts out. Did you do something to make you think it's bent? Any issues with how it was handling?
45 min NE of Nashville TN but I will look them up , it's not a have to do anytime soon as I have hp 30 up front now just wanted to hopefully fix it so I can have a front air locker as well, thanks for the infoNot sure where you are in TN. Hudlow axle is in Rossville, GA. They are not the cheapest but they are good!

Sounds right, I had him straighten a Dana 60 rear end for me several years ago and he did really good work on it.Looks like three hrs from me,hudlow axle
For that much, I'd use a bottle jack and stout chain. Put the bend down, set the bottle jack on top of the chain with a block of wood under it so you don't break the base at the edges, chain around the ends, jack it up a bit and keep doing that until it is straight. I've done a few that way and they are still good.Best I can tell it's about 1/4 "or less but that's using a straight edge
Might give that a shot all I can do is mess it up worse than it is LOLFor that much, I'd use a bottle jack and stout chain.

That what I did and added heat. It snaps back a bit so you must bend it a bit more than 1/4".For that much, I'd use a bottle jack and stout chain.

Totally agree with this which is why a truss helps.Keep in mind inner sleeves don't make it significantly stronger, only outer sleeving help significantly.
fit a rod all the way through so you know where center is. I don't think you'll know how much you're off unless you do.Might give that a shot all I can do is mess it up worse than it is LOL
