But it isn't what the thread-poster was looking for.
I put a D44 TTB in mine, but I narrowed the stupid thing, realizing halfway through what a waste of time that was, as the stock D35 junk was nearly the same size (should've left it fullwidth, I plan to replace the beams on it someday (or do a D60 swap)).

Bolting the D44 in fullwidth wouldn't change it a whole lot, you'd use the F-150 steering linkage (or better, something aftermarket using a centerlink). Radius arm and coil mounts possibly would need to be "tweaked" slightly.
Pig still tucks into the engine crossmember fine with 3" susp lft, and may even clear at stock height, too.

yeah i was going to cut them and turn them so i would have a nice camber setting then use coil overs. the motor is off to one side 3 inches so the whole tranny and t-case from a fullsize bronco stuff up into the frame.

in that case you can just modify the passenger side 150 beam bracket and plate the ranger unit for the drivers side beam to accomodate the hole spacing to keep it centered.. should be easy as hell. use some 150 radius arm brackets and fly high.
