Are you trying to figure out what to do with your new axle shafts you got?

no that part is taken care of. I have my 44 housing here at work and trying to decide if I need to cut off these perches or if they'll work. I think I can only get one cut off. The drivers side is molded to the center. :eeek:

You might have to move the spring mounts on the frame ......... or link it up!!!

32.5 seems to some to mind. google it

JOOP · Feb 7, 2008

I coudln;t find anything on google. But a friend measured thiers and they came up with approx 28.5" inside to inside. My waggy measures 29.5" inside to inside. So maybe it'll work

I had to move both of mine in I think a half an inch on each side.

Seems to be an easy converison

Front or rear?
For the waggy 44's in my YJ they had to be moved, not much.
I know your a die hard SUA fan, but I wish I had done spring over when I swapped axles.

I've got a set of axles off of an old Wagoneer that had a QuadraTrack case in it - what I'm thinking of doing, instead of grinding the housing a 1/2" is having the long side of the axle tube shortened a 1/2" - is that even possible?

Zoediak · Feb 12, 2008

they are an inch different from the waggys...

an inch narrower...

have used waggy 44's in a yj before and moved them 1/2" in on each side to keep the geometry correct... (otherwise it can put excessive wear ont eh bushings and crap)
