I recently ran into a problem, my 98 S-10 has a front axle from an early bronco.

Im currently in the process of doing a cut and turn of the outer c's to get better pinion angle and change from leaf sprung to coilovers :shaking:

The problem I ran into, the EB 44 has smaller diameter axle tubes than average d44's. :mad3:

So heres what Im looking for full size d44 front axle with a drivers side drop that
I can cut the axle tubes to the same legnth as my current axle tubes and install the new outer c's / 3 link brackets.

Ford uses a drivers side drop solid axle.....Why can't you just truss your current axle???

Fullsize F150/Bronco? That would have been the first thing to look for to begin with, IMO.

I am running a 78 ford dana 44. The front pinion angle is bad, but not that bad. I can drive it in 4wd up to about 30 mph without vibrations. Offroading is slow, so it isn't a problem. Just wait and see if you start having driveshaft/ujoint issues before you cut and turn.

I already have the outer c's cut off. I purchased control arm mounts which are cut for 3" axle tubes, I already have outer c's machined for 3" diameter tube.

I was just wondering what application to look for but with some research I've found a 77 full width 44 should get me taken care of.

As for why I purchased Early bronco axles was because of the width. While reading the post for your s-10 mudonthetires it seems you also asked about the same question that I've just done. Thank you because I figured out what I need to purchase

"Just wait and see if you start having driveshaft/ujoint issues before you cut and turn" I tried and the drive shaft wouldnt even install without binding.

Get a Waggy Dana 44 out of mid 80s Grand Cherokees. They are about the same width as EBs and stock IFS S-10s. If I do the SAS to my S-10, these will be the axles I'm using.

If you plan to go high enough though, the LP sucks.

The EB is a low pinion....

:laughing: Most D44s have 2-3/4" tubes

I would go with an intact HP44. The extra width isn't as big a deal as you might think.

[QUOTE=u2slow]:laughing: Most D44s have 2-3/4" tubes

If most d44's come with 2 3/4" tubes why does blue torch sell brackets that are made for a 3" tube, why did i get the tubes removed from some used outer c's and those are 3". Why when i mounted my leaf spring perches on my last suspension set-up they were for 3". Everything I have ever purchased that was for a d44 always was for 3" tubes. :flipoff2:

Should be 3" tube for D44s. 10 bolts and 9" are the same. 14 bolts are 3 1/4".

3 3/8" on the 14...

My waggy axle is 3". My F100 and F150 tubes were both 2.75" All 44's

especially in the front.

it'll track better thru turns.
