Default BK2 drive shafts on an X6??

Have i got this right i have got a second hand BK2 and i am trying to fit the rear drive shafts to my X6 but i can't see how to do it for the life of me ?????

I thought it was all going well rebuilt the rear of the car just swaping the drive shafts over but they dont fit into the Diff so i presume i only need the outer axel and the B4 dogbone as such

How do i do it ???????

Anyone got a photo of the finished Drive shaft????

Thanks

Thats because many ppl changed to the dogbones as they made the car handle better over bumps.

I suspect its a BK2 modded back to be like the proto CR's with the older type drivedshafts. You could get BK2 dogbones, I used the outer axle part when I modded my XXX4 to get more rear droop as I recall.

I`ve just fitted some of the BK2 Rear Axles to my X6.

The turnbuckles now rub on the inside of the rear wheel.

I know JConcepts do some low profile balls cups or

Do I need to change the rear hub carriers to Rayspeed etc ?

Whats the best replacement, hub carriers to get ?
