oddball crap is 35 spline 1.5" stock. and is 5 x5.5... so the 14 bolt would require new wheels, gears....

those axles are pretty sick, only older jeeps and mopar muscle cars came with them. What bearings are you gonna run, stock style or go with a set 20?

new gears and wheels are worth it to me anyday over hunting for parts for my rig and then when you do find them they cost you more than gears and wheels ever would :awesomework:

You could always turn the 14-bolt hubs down and run 5 on 5.5 in back.

Pirate is your friend there. I heard of it being done, but only briefly researched it. 14-bolts (or atleast the outers) are pretty much the only "common" FF you can do this with, since the wheel hubs and axle flanges are small enough, with enough meat to turn down to fit a 1/2T wheel center hole.

Solid Axle sells 5x5.5 14-bolt hubs now. $400 for the pair, but that's not much more than you are spending on your axle shaft.

If i do any thing i would get a full floater 60. More ground clearance than the 14bolt.

Build a Dana 60 rear with the same outers as your front. Then run 300M full float double ended shafts. You can use the same 5 lug bearing hubs, bearings, spindles, calipers, rotors and driveflanges as the front so it is easy to work on and get replacement parts.

Do you know the current width? I forgot. What shaft are you breaking, the stock length or the narrowed side?
