Ok, I'm going to be doing a SOA on my ScoutII with 79 waggy 44's and 4" spring on top of that... Would I be right in assuming a cut-n-turn is going to be necessary?

probably not on the waggy front axle, I think its got 7 degrees of caster compared to the 0 of a scout axle.

Why did you put that axle on there? was it originally a 30?

Well I thought the waggy had a 6-7 degree castor, but wasn't sure if the 4" springs would screw that up... Thanks

It just seems like it will be less work with the waggys compared to the Scout 44(which will be for sale):D ... with the scout 44's I would have to cut-n-turn, grind out a small part of the housing...so, your answer is what I was hoping to hear.

Plus parts for the waggy would probably be cheaper...

and you can run flat top knuckles and not have to buy spindles and stuff to match.

I'm doing the same setup on my cj, scout rear waggy front.

Exactly...more options and a strong set up...

Not 100% sure but I think the waggy axles have thicker tubes on the rear. I at least know the scout ones are thinner then most.

Yes this is the case. I'm not sure of the actual dimensions, but the tubes on a waggy rear are made of thicker material. Scout rear 44s are notorious for bending tubes.

you probably will have to cut and turn knuckles with a 4" soa unless you have a really long front driveshaft the problem isnt so much at the pinion the angle at the transfer case yoke will get really severe. also for the rear you might as well use a waggy 44 then you could keep 6 lug all the way around:smokin:

yeah, thats what I'm doing putting waggy's all the way around...
