Search is useless as always!!!

Are the housings 55" from backing plate to backing plate? Or anywhere close?

Will a 55" work good in a YJ??

Thanks.

Anyone?

 

[P&T Jeeps]

should be 61.5"

 

[Kicker]

So would 55" ones work? 3" shorter per side seems a bit much to me

Yep you are correct 3" shorter per side would put right about under the frame rails...I would pass on it if I were you <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

it seems way to narrow for my liking but whatever you want to do... also consider where this shorter axle will put the diff.

Who measures axles from backing plate to backing plate <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> You should measure an axle from the flang the wheels mount too. It sounds like to me that your thinking about puting a narrow cj axle in a wrangler. Bad idea. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

55" backing plate to plate is around 61-62" flange to flange. That is right around stock YJ width. And yes nobody should be measuring BP - BP

They are from a Scout II. And I didn't measure them for the record.

But thank for the info guys!

Scout II axles are almost the same width they are around 59"

My Scout 44 rear is 58". I got the TSM disk brake kit which makes it 58.5" now <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> With 35x15.5 SX's on a 10" rim with 3.5" backspacing the clearance between the frame and tire is marginal. I won't be surprised if it rubs a little on the frame, but I'm also considering 1" spacers so it'll be closer to my 61" Waggy front.
