Well in my case I cannot do that with these parts, there would not be enough spline left. The stock shafts are a smaller diameter at the end of the spline, thus not allowing me to respline them. So all the work earlier of welding up the holes and redrilling the pattern to 5x5 will go unused.
I have a pair of new axle shafts that have extra long splines and are intened to be cut to length. Maybe not as trick as having axles custom made, but still useable for what I am wanting to do.
I will make the cuts to the axle housing so as the pinion will be centered not the pumpkin. I need to keep the driveshaft away from nearby bits.
