yes I have searched but carn't find a staight answer...

I want to convert my 6 stud waggy 44 front axle to eight stud to match my new rear 60...

If I want to use the 1/2 ton single piston brakes I have...do I just need to find a HD ford 44 hubs, rotors and a set of big bearing spindles or.... is there something else that runs eight lug that will fit...

thnaks

Jeep j20 8 lugs will work same brakes just different hubs,I think chevy is the same but not sure. :mad3:

Yeah just get a complete 3/4 ton D44 or 10 bolt from a chevy and put all the goodies on including the calipers.

x2 with cj8berry. Thats what I currently have in my YJ(My front d60 not done)

Yup knukles out ,,get it all...

You won't need the spindles or calipers. Just grab the caliper brackets, rotors, and hubs of a Jeep J20, or 3/4 ton Chevy D44 or 10bolt.

Don't forget to by new seals! Quality Spicer parts are best :grinpimp:

Ok J20 stuff fell through...anyone get the part numbers for the chev stuff

Just steal the parts from any 8 lug D44 or 10 bolt. Rotors, wheel studs, hubs, and caliper brackets.

Check out your local junkyards, they should have what you're looking for.
