anyway, let me know what ya'll think about the outboarding thing, i am planning on taking all of the stuff (knuckles, hi steer arms, etc.) off of my present 44 and swapping it onto the fullwidth. also puttin a 70HD in the rear and bracing the frame like crazy. anyway, let me know what ya'll think about that, should be a good topic.

Try searching a little more we covered this at least once last week and 3 times the week before that.

Mine has a full width out of a 77 F250.

You'll need to fashion up some 8" or wider front flares, as well as some 7" units out back if you want to run it on the road. I adapted 14 ga. trailer fenders.

Real helpful replies so far huh Ryan? There is a guy in Kodak, TN who runs leaves and full width one tons under an XJ. He is a member of Rattlerock Offroad, I think thier website is Rattlerock.com. I can't remember his name but everyone calls him Sh*thead. Check that website, it might have his e-mail address or something there. If not, send a PM to 350sami, he knows him. If I remember correctly though he ran a shackle reversal with the mounts outboard of the unibody "rails". Hope this helps.

thanks wes, and if someone else would read the original question, i was wondering about the SPRING MOUNTS, not putting them under the jeep. oh yeah, and who needs fender flares? not i, i hardly have any front fender left to begin with :flipoff2:

If you would read what I said and do a better search you would find out about spring mounts.

Lazy Beotch here you go read these and figure it out :flipoff2:

yeah yeah, i searched a little, but couldn't find what i needed, thanks for the link tho, i'm runnin leaves in the front though, thats why i was curious about whether i'll have to outboard the mounts or not, not something every XJ has

You're going from a Waggy front to a full width Ford right? Just do a search and see if Waggy owners have to outboard thier mounts when they swap to full width axles. Wouldn't that work? If you already have the axle why not just measure and see? Isn't that guy in your club that stirred up all the poop here a while back running full widths? Did he outboard his mounts?

 

[kajeepxj]

yeah, i will measuer them when i get home today, i am at school right now, i was just bored and didn't want to wait till i got home to do it.

As I said, I am running a full width out of a 77 F-250 with LEAF SPRINGS (as it says in my sig) and they are not outboard of the unibody! :flipoff2:

 

[slopoke]

you guys have no idea how incredibly lazy this kid is. he is my roomate and only moves for beer. so dont even think he would actually measure, :flipoff2:

 

[onecrazyXJ]

kajeepxj, I sent you an email but your PM mailbox on pirate is full. I have tried over the past several days but nothin. I still want the front axle and rock rods, PM me back.

later,
Robert
