Do what I'm doin'. Buy the axle first. If you end up with something a little weird sitting before you in the garage it would be good to find out before you break out the welder and start burnin' metal. Lotsa luck, if you find any good tips or methods be sure to post 'em.

assuming thtas a narrow track chero front ( it should be at 62")
then its the same as a wagoneer front end, which is the same as what im doing, here is a pic of my spring hanger on a 77CJ5 frame.

the spring hanger's inner edge is within 1/32 of the fames outer edge. on MINE its a 76 wagoneer front end

look at this photo hopefully it will explain better than i can

32" rings a bell. ~48" between upper ball joints on the narrow 44.
