I also wasn't pleased with the original front stubby housing...
So I made another...
Remember that first chunk of steel? I made a couple of these out of it too...

You're looking at a Dana 60 spindle bearing and two spindle seals stacked together...if those don't work then I'll get 3 o-rings...
Aligned up in the new housing...oh yeah...I had to make some adapters for my alignment jig...luckily the bearing surface on a dana 60 shaft is 1.5"...so a piece wire wheeled DOM worked nicely...

Doing it this way allowed me to save about 5 inches from center to center of u-joints on the front housing...that's either 4-5 degrees more steering or 3-4" off of wms-wms...I haven't decided yet...
