can you narrow a K5 d-44 down to a 60"WMS and have it work in a cj7? I wouldn't think so, I would think you would have to chop both the long side and the short side of the tube and get two custom shafts. As opposed to wagoneer axles which only need the long side chopped.
This is probably a retarded idea, much easier swaps out there.
Yes.
Isn't skinny waggy 60"ish already? You can move the springs out to match the perch width.
This would be ideal, the problem is finding one. Kopecki find me an axle!
They're not in most junk yards anymore? Complete ****ty waggys more than $300 now? I've got a housing.
But whats the year they changed from passanger drop to drivers drop, wasn't it 1980 and newer is drivers drop? And what about grand wagoneers, same axle and width?
why do you want to put a 44 in the front again? for the money you are going to spend on gears, bearing, shafts ect you might as well build a 60 from the ground up

I have half the stuff for a 44 already. stub shafts, knuckles, high steer, hubs. If I could find one set up with the right gears it could be cheap.
Edit: plus i've been thinking about a 60 and I think if I narrowed it to my width I would have to run a link suspension. I don't think there would be enough room between the pumpkin and knuckle to place a leaf spring.

What's the right gears? That's gonna be the hard part. Scout axle can be found with decent gears, and you've got the stuff to replace the ****ty outers.
4.88, don't think those came stock.
Found a guy on tx4x4 with a stock scout 44, and a set of 4.88s. Going to see how much he wants tomorrow. Hopefully I can snag it and turn the c's. Then add my outers and be done. Probably going to weld the b*tch to lock it. It has an arb in it right now but I don't have the coin.
I've got a dodge dana 60 I'll sell ya
1988 Blazer...RIP
i think you would have plenty of rooms to run leafs but I also think that you may want a slightly wider axle. i would like mine to be about two inches wider to help the tires clear the frame and links when turning
