thanks

Fullwidth or not? you can run a fullwidth chevy dana 44 or a waggy dana 44.

Do a search its been done a few times.....but a jeep wagoneer will be your best bet they are the right width and can be had in pass or driver drop depending on your needs to match transfer cases. As far as the spring perch width not sure right off hand. Someone else may chime in on that

Edit:Pinkstonmm beat me to it

I used a dana 44 out of 79 waggy, i don't remember the center to center but i will measure tonight and post tomorrow if somebody does'nt do it today. Don

My waggy d44 is 31.25" perch spacing and 60.5" WMS-WMS, IIRC. Chevy perch spacing should be about the same, and 67 or 69" WMS-WMS.

If I were to start my build over, I'd get a chevy d44 and cut down the long side to fit a waggy shaft to both narrow my spring spacing (keep the tires away from the springs) and get a little extra width (more stability). I'd use the wider 2nd gen 12bolt to match the front width. Just a little food for thought.

maaaan these guys are friendly, the toy forum would have found creative new uses for the search button, your rectum, and both available axle donor trucks. :flipoff2: enjoy your trooper man, they're fun rigs.

yup, i used to be on the toy board but know own a trooper and looking for a early 90's trooper to work on, just getting some ideas.
thanks guys

74-79 jeep wagoneer D44 is the most common

some are running full width D44's

i ran a D60 in my 89 w/ Hummer wheels

I got my 44 from a 78 or 79 cherokee.
