Never said that you couldn't do it or that it would instantly self-destruct if you did, just that based on my personal experiences, it's not a setup I would feel comfortable running. Unlike some, we do not trailer our Jeeps anywhere regardless of how far the destination or how tough the trail. Because of this, we choose to do what we can to help mitigate breaks to the best of our ability or our finances will allow. Nothing worse than breaking out in the middle of nowhere and no trailer to tow you home especially when it could have been prevented. I should note that it took a little over 2 years for us to finally break our rear semi-float 60 shaft. Time has a way of sneaking up on you.
BTW, high pinion and low pinion is not a reference to the angle of an axle but rather, where the pinion enters the differential. A high pinion will give you better clearance but will have your ring gear pushing on the weak side of the gear. A low pinion setup will cause you to lose ground clearance and force you to operate your drive shaft at a steeper angle but, it will allow your ring gear to be ridden on the strong side. If you've ever broken a ring and pinion on the trail, you'd want to do all that you can to prevent this as well. :yup:
