Axletech Portals

Hi Everyone!! :standing wave:

So its been a long day/late night and I cant really sleep, so I've been watching Ultimate Adventure Videos from 2013 on youtube. I found a build thread on the Project Truck for the 2013 Ultimate adventure, which ended up being a Ford F-250. While watching the video the host, Fred Williams, mentioned Axle Tech Portals. Being a semi-noob I went to the google machine.

This is from the AxleTech Website:
-4.9 inch lift
-1.5:1 reduction ratio
-35 spline input
-41 spline output

While doing a little bit of research I found that the Portals fit on Dana 60's and come with a 8 on 6.5 lug pattern. I'm really just curious if anyone on the forums run these on their rigs (why do you run them or why do you not run them, advantages/disadvantages etc.). I don't really intend to install these when I start building my JK, maybe in the far future. I'm personally just looking for some extra knowledge and opinions.

P.S. Before anyone jumps to conclusions: I do not have any affiliation with AxleTech, just another guy looking for some extra knowledge and trying to learn something new!! :D

What he said ^^^. Even if you were to install them, there is no way for you to run a speed sensor on them and if you have a 2012 or newer JK, it will be impossible for you to drive your Jeep in anything other than limp mode.

LOL!! More like Dynatrac Portals and they had been working on it. In fact, the Mighty FC had them on. In fact, they even have a solution but there are other factors preventing it from happening or, at least anytime soon.
