Rear engine crawler so the axles are flipped upside down. I think everyone knows a low pinion rear axle is stronger than a high pinion axle in the rear. So do you think starting with a hp and flipping it upside down in the rear would be stronger than flipping a low pinion?
 
Kinda what I thought. It's a sxor car with a flipped low pinion 60 now. Going to rear steer and figured I'd use a hp housing to make it a little stronger
 
Or, run a LP70 center section? Would get your driveshaft a little higher with minimal loss in ground clearance, and stronger than current setup with the larger ring gear. Flipped HP60 is probably just as good of a plan.
