Hello,
I recently acquired a HP dana 44 out of a Ford, which I believe to be a F100 axle, however with all the mounts already stripped off it's hard to tell. However, after doing some research, I came across hi steer knuckles and small bearing spindles and all the goodies off of a chevy, and I'm getting ready to narrow it for my MJ.
I was looking at truss options, and there isn't really a lot. I do have one important question though. If I narrow this axle to use TJ Rubicon shafts(my plan, as wagoneer shafts are getting harder to find, and TJ shafts are plentiful - and the differential SHOULD have the same side-to-side dimensions as a 30 as TJs ran them both), would I be able to use a TJ truss on the axle? I realize the TJ is a low pinion axle, however I was curious about just simply welding on an artec truss and then welding all my mounts on separately.
Thanks,
Francesco
