It would need to be 934/5 CV joints because the can handle more angle and custom axle shafts. Yes, you have to either modify the existing stubshafts or make new ones. Nobody has made them for a GTX before because you can just buy an xtrac drivetrain for less than paying someone to make all the custom bits. Pretty much a bench-racing project.

Bench racing huh? Yeah I guess it's not really worth going through all the trouble for 1 more inch of travel eh?
