Singe axle rear end

[leafsprings]

My next build will be a 2 axle Pete, but all Pete kits are 3 axle. Should I just use the rear drive axle or use a kit with a single drive axle?  Which kit has the most accurate single drive axle?  Is it a Eaton or Rockwell?

Yes just use the rear of the two drive axles and it will work fine.

The standard  Pete 281 axle was the R 170, much larger than the axles used in a typical dual drive kits.  My conclusion is the White Freightliner SD is the only kit that came with the big R 170  23,000 lb  axle. I'll be using the kits spring suspension also. The Ford C 900, the only other single drive kit,  must have a smaller 22,000 lb Eaton.
