8.75 axles redrilled
But seriously!!!!
Yes, people have done it, your results may vary! Personally I'd just buy new axles from doctor diff.
The other issue with re-drilling the axles is that you must use your SBP brakes still and re-drill the drums as well. You can't use the standard big bolt pattern 10x2.5" brakes because the offset on the axles is different from SBP to BBP, so the offset on the backing plates is different etc. So, if you re-drill the axles you must also re-drill your drums and re-use your current SBP brakes.
:rofl:
