dude please, iv seen your rig. its pretty frickin' sweet.

so i was reading on Pirate and they were saying that the waggy 44 is not that great. something about ford HP44 blah blah blah. they lost me at ford. anyway i might look into just running a toy axle.

Read up on 4x4 wire. There's lots of info. And They're all Dana axles... You can take a chevy 44, switch axle tubes, run a dodge short side shaft, waggy long side, and have a drivers drop chevy/dodge/jeep 44 with six lug outers that's only a couple inches over 60".

i went over to that 4x4 wire site. it seemed pretty confusing when i searched "dana 44". is that a website for a magazine also?

ya it will be a good one when i get it all going. im pretty much on a mission to prove that a sas can be done for relatively cheap. the axle is going to be the most expensive thing to this project.

im also gonna explain what i do and how i do it. basically make a thread that i would find helpful when researching

91 ex-cab · « **Reply #46 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:16:43 AM »

Right on, looking forward to it..

awhile ago i read a thread about steering boxes, and it said that one of the IFS boxes was better. i cant find it anywhere. does anyone know anything about 86-88 being better than 89-94?

Broke_Okie_Ty · « **Reply #48 on:** Jun 21, 2011, 08:33:48 AM »

bought my axle!!!!

Sweet! Can't wait to see you make some progress.

Broke_Okie_Ty · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 22, 2011, 10:18:56 AM »

and i got some other stuff like metal for hoops and spring hanger and PS lines.

here is a list of what i need:

french shackles
chevy 6 lug outters
flat top knuckles
high steer
~~ifs steering box~~
taco to dana brake lines
a 2wd 3.4 oil pan and pick up (i may just make my own pan)
~~U-bolt flip kit for D44~~
another set of stock rear springs for RUF

once i get this stuff i can get started with the choppin

I haven't personally run any 44 arms. But i'm at wfo concepts all the time and Trevor and Boe have a nice little selection, i'd give them a call and see what will work best for you.

i was thinking a set of these blue torch arms. they all pretty much look about the same except the price differances. http://www.bluetorchfab.com/Product/994/BTF-Dana-44-High-Steer-Arm;-TRE-STYLE-Passenger-Side.aspx

thanks, i managed to keep it some what straight. i was doing about 50 mph. if the top strut had broke, this would have become a "check out my new rig" thread.

as a consequence of the bj going out. i warped the rotor on the driver side. does anybody have some old ones for cheap that i can have to get by on?
