What diff insert did the B5 have? Or are you referring to the front end inserts which look very similar?

I would agree except for the fact that supporting the diff should take a lot less stress than the front wheels took, so that is something we are just gonna have to see. The axle height inserts on the RC10F6 have issues as well which there are a couple easy fixes for, but again those are more inline with the front axle inserts because they take impact during a crash.

They should just design the waterfall around being able to mount a fan to it.

Two reasons most likely. One is to keep the spring and nut inside the body, other is to make it easier to swap spur gears without removing the trans from the chassis.

If they had a kit like the b5m and rear motor conversion kits it maybe worth it. those kits came with a chassis and were a reasonable price.

When Durango came out with this design in 2012 it was to allow sufficient room for the spur gear when the shocks were mounted in front of the arms. There were no laydown designs back then.

That easy access gear box is awesome!

I can still remove the spur gear out of my current B6 with out removing the trany from the chassis !!!!

Flipping the top shaft and slipper nut/ spring moves the weight of those parts more centerline. While the parts don't weigh much, it is rotating mass that was hanging off the side of the car and now it is closer to center.

looks like you can not use the current slipper lock out from Avid, Schelle, Exotek.
that alone will make everyone buy a new car instead of a conversion kit

there is your answer on the slipper design.
design the car so current B6 owners cant justify an upgrade so they all have to buy a new car, than spend more money to buy upgrades because the current upgrades don't work no more.

I'd say that is a very smart coordination between area 51 and third party parts manufactures!!!

I'm not bitching, just saying. I will be preordering when it comes up

I should have that video on the first page.

Rear shocks are different for the B6 vs. B6D
one has less thread?

Forgive me if it's been covered already, but what does changing the differential height affect?

B6.1 with a easier to access gearbox will make it simpler
