Got it now!! I didn't pay close enough attention. The Dana T-case has a
passenger side drive to the front, I was thinking he was trying to move
the drive to the passenger side (that the Dana had driver's side front
output). Need to pay a little closer attention sometimes!

Frank, read again, he plans on flipping the T-case not the axle!
He is intending to leave the clocking so that the front output is lower
than a normal Eagle to help clear the Spirit floor. Interesting plan. 
  Not sure it is worth the effort, but, we'll see.
